In the clip that surfaced on social media yesterday Coote claimed that Klopp was "arrogant" and had accused him of lying after a 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Burnley during Project Restart in 2020. Coote took charge of Liverpool's 2-0 win against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Professional Game Match Officials Ltd said: "David Coote has been suspended with immediate effect pending a full investigation. PGMOL will be making no further comment until that process is complete."
The video appears to date from the 2020-21 season. Coote is asked by a man for his opinion of Klopp, the then Liverpool manager, and says: "Aside from having a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown, then he accused me of lying and then just had a right fucking pop at me. I've got no interest in speaking to someone who's fucking arrogant. So I do my best not to speak to him My God, German cunt, fuck me."
