UEFA has taken the decision to ban English referee, David Coote until June 30, 2026.

European football’s governing body confirmed this on Friday.

Last December, Coote was fired by English football’s refereeing body, after a video clip of him making offensive comments about former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp, surfaced on social media.
UEFA had also launched an investigation into Coote, after another video appearing to show him snorting white powder allegedly during Euro 2024, was leaked.

In the latest decisions published by UEFA’s control, ethics and disciplinary body, it confirmed that Coote was banned from any UEFA refereeing activity.

The official has been suspended for violating the “basic rules of decent conduct” and bringing “the sport of football, and UEFA in particular, into disrepute.”
