UEFA has appointed an ethics and disciplinary inspector to investigate under-fire referee David Coote, it was reported today.

A video has emerged which appears to show Coote, 42, snorting a white powder. The Sun, which published the video, said it was shot during Euro 2024 where he was officiating.

That followed the posting of another video on Monday in which Coote appears to make derogatory comments about Liverpool and their former boss Jurgen Klopp.
