Former Premier League Referee David Coote Banned From Officiating by UEFA Until 2026

He's been punished for bringing football "into disrepute" - after a video was posted online appearing to show him taking drugs at last summer's Euros

Former Premier League referee David Coote has been banned from officiating by UEFA until June next year.

He's been punished for bringing football "into disrepute" - after a video was posted online appearing to show him taking drugs at last summer's Euros.

In December, Coote was sacked by Premier League Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL), having suspended him the previous month, after a video showing him making derogatory comments about Liverpool and the club's former manager Jurgen Klopp was circulated on social media.
