Disgraced ex-referee David Coote comes out as gay - two months after footage emerged of him 'snorting white powder' and calling Jurgen Klopp a 'German ****' Former Premier League referee David Coote has come out as gay in an emotional interview- two months after explosive videos emerged of him and ended his career.
The disgraced former referee's career was fired by the PGMOL last month after the emergence of videos which landed Coote in significant trouble, the first seemingly showing the 42-year-old badmouthing Liverpool’s ex-manager Jurgen Klopp.
The PGMOL found Coote’s actions made his position as a Premier League official ‘untenable’ and the organisation headed up by Howard Webb terminated his employment with immediate effect.
