\u201cFollowing the conclusion of a thorough investigation into David Coote\u2019s conduct, his employment with PGMOL has been terminated today with immediate effect. David Coote\u2019s actions were found to be in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare,\u201d read the statement by PGMOL.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Coote, who has recently been at the centre of controversies that bring serious questions against the integrity of the Refereeing body, is also being investigated for a possible betting scandal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 42-year-old is being questioned surrounding a yellow card he showed to Leeds player Ezgjan Alioski, during the Leeds United versus West Bromwich Albion game in October 2019 and is being investigated both by the refereeing body in England, the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) and the Football Association (FA) in separate investigations as reported by British newspaper outlet The Sun.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The report suggests that Coote discussed handing out a yellow card over text messages but there is no suggestion that the referee made any financial gains over the event.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
