In the shocking video, Coote is seen on a sofa with an unidentified companion, delivering unfiltered, expletive-filled remarks on Klopp’s behavior and Liverpool’s performance during a recent game.

The 42-year-old official allegedly went so far as to call Klopp a “German c***” and describe Liverpool as “s***,” seemingly referencing his experience as a fourth official in a game at Anfield.

This candid rant has since set social media ablaze, with fans and pundits alike questioning the professionalism and neutrality of a referee entrusted to oversee top-flight matches.

In a second leaked clip, Coote can be heard warning his companion that “the last video cannot go anywhere,” a statement that has only added fuel to the controversy.
