DAVID COOTE can kiss goodbye to more than £1MILLION after his astonishing X-rated rant at Jurgen Klopp.
The under-fire Premier League referee faces ruin having been caught on video labelling Liverpool's former boss a "German c***".
Referee David Coote was caught on video labelling ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp a 'German c***'
Refs' chiefs at the PGMOL are investigating but believe Coote will quit before he gets sacked.
The FA have also launched their own probe. VAR specialist Coote, 42, was booted off Uefa's matchlist for a Nations League game during the international break following his foul-mouthed remarks.
Referencing Klopp's nationality means Coote faces stiffer sanctions from a potential aggravated misconduct charge.
Fifa are now looking into his part-time position with them.
PGMOL boss Howard Webb said: "We became aware of a video on social media that we are taking very seriously. We have instigated a full investigation.
"David Coote has been suspended pending the outcome. There's not much more I can say at this stage."
The sensational minute-long clip looks set to end Coote's career and cost him a fortune in lost earnings.
He stands to lose his job as a Select Group 1 referee that pays him at least £100,000 a year.
And the Nottinghamshire official has no hope of keeping a role within the PGMOL once he hangs up his whistle — like many of his peers.
A source told SunSport: "He's looking at more than a million quid down the drain there when you add it all up."
A video was posted online on Monday showing Coote laying into Klopp and labelling him "f***ing arrogant".
He also said Liverpool were "s**t" in the footage, which was recorded several years ago.
Coote has not denied the authenticity of the video but "does not recall" making it.
The official has history with Klopp, who left the Kop giants in May.
They clashed after Liverpool's 1-1 draw with Burnley at Anfield in July 2020 during the pandemic-hit season.
The explosive comments cast serious doubt on his impartiality and suitability to referee in English football again.
His remarks about Liverpool mean he could no longer referee their games with a shred of credibility.
But neither can he take charge of matches involving their rivals in case his decisions indirectly affected them.
And any club with a German boss or player could claim they would not receive fair treatment from Coote.
The man who filmed Coote's anti-Liverpool rant has been named as former Nottinghamshire cricketer Ben Kitt.
Kitt has also reportedly been suspended from his job.
