SHAMED ref David Coote won’t appeal the decision to sack him, it emerged last night.
Referees’ body the PGMOL gave him the boot this month after a probe into videos of him snorting white powder and a foul-mouthed rant about ex Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp.
Shamed ref David Coote won’t appeal the decision to sack him, it emerged last night
Coote was filmed branding ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp a 'German c**t'
Sources last night said the 42-year-old Premier League official had decided to accept his sacking - rather than fight to keep his old job, the Daily Mail reported.
The PGMOL - Professional Game Match Officials Board - showed Coote the door after examining evidence provided by The Sun.
We exclusively revealed a film of him snorting what appears to be cocaine during the Euros in Germany this summer.
In the eight-second WhatsApp clip, he was wide-eyed as he used a rolled-up US banknote to snort a four-inch line of the substance in his Uefa-funded hotel room.
The previous day, the official had acted as a VAR for France's quarter-final shootout win over Portugal.
Days before that exposé, footage emerged on social media showing him calling former Liverpool boss Klopp a “German c***”.
Coote had also tried to arrange a drugs party during Tottenham’s win over Manchester City on October 30.
He was the fourth official for the Carabao Cup clash.
Official body PGMOL said the ref - also subject of a separate betting probe - was sacked after his actions were found to be in breach of contract.
In a statement, they said: “David Coote’s actions were found to be in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable.
"Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare.”
Coote has been lying low near his Midlands home since the video emerged.
Referees body the PGMOL, who examined evidence provided by The Sun, sacked him on Monday following a probe into his sweary rants and white powder abuse.
Coote was then the subject of a new probe over allegedly issuing a yellow card to order.
The loss of Coote’s career is set to cost him £1m over the next few years in loss of earnings.
