Premier League referee David Coote has been sacked, PGMOL announced on Monday, citing a "serious breach" of his contract.

Coote had been under investigation after a leaked video which showed him in an expletive-laden rant about Liverpool and their former manager Jürgen Klopp.

He is also under investigation from UEFA after a video published by The Sun allegedly showed him snorting a white powder while on duty at Euro 2024.

"Following the conclusion of a thorough investigation into David Coote's conduct, his employment with PGMOL has been terminated today with immediate effect," PGMOL said in a statement.
