Premier League referee David Coote has been dismissed following an investigation into his conduct.
A video surfaced last month in which Coote appeared to make disparaging comments about Liverpool and their former manager, Jürgen Klopp.
Subsequently, in November, The Football Association (FA) initiated an inquiry into claims that Coote had discussed issuing a yellow card prior to a match.

Coote maintains that no wrongdoing occurred.
In a statement, the organisation responsible for professional referees in the UK, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), said: “Following the conclusion of a thorough investigation into David Coote’s conduct, his employment with PGMOL has been terminated today with immediate effect.
“David Coote’s actions were found to be in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable.
“Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare.
“David Coote has a right to appeal the decision to terminate his employment.”
