Former Premier League referee David Coote could land a new role in football, according to a report.
Coote was dismissed as a Premier League referee in December 2024 after the emergence of videos earlier in the year that saw him call ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp 'a German ****'.
Footage also emerged alleging to show him sniffing a white powder through a rolled-up bank note.
It was apparently taken during the summer's European Championship. The PGMOL found Coote's actions made his position as a Premier League official 'untenable' and the organisation headed up by Howard Webb terminated his employment with immediate effect.
This week, in an interview with The Sun, Coote revealed that he turned to drugs over fear of coming out as gay in the 'macho world' of the Premier League.
The same outlet now claim that the 42-year-old could make a sensational return to football as a VAR instructor.
LOL. Surely fake news?
