LondoncTypeface:> Referee David Coote’s alleged comments about former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp are being investigated by the Football Association. A video which began circulating online on Monday appears to show Coote making highly derogatory remarks about Klopp and the Anfield club. The referees body Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL) announced on Monday that Coote, 42, had been suspended pending a full investigation. The video has not been verified by the PA news agency but is understood to be being treated as genuine by PGMOL. The FA is also looking at Coote’s comments. It now has the power to investigate remarks made in a private context, and it is understood part of its investigation will centre on whether Coote’s reference to Klopp’s nationality constitutes an aggravated breach of its misconduct rules.
