Troubled referee David Coote was seen yesterday for the first time following his dismissal.
The 42-year-old was clad in a hoodie and sweatpants during his exercise session at the gym.
Despite not having any games to officiate, Coote participated in weight training and cardio exercises.
He has maintained a low profile near his Midlands home since a video emerged of him deriding former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp by referring to him as a “German c***”.
He was also seen on camera inhaling white powder at Euro 2024.
The refereeing organization, PGMOL, after reviewing evidence from The Sun, terminated his contract on Monday after an inquiry into his foul language and drug-related behavior.
Additionally, it was reported that he allegedly organized a drug party at a Travelodge following Tottenham’s Carabao Cup match against Manchester City on 30th October.
Coote is currently facing scrutiny over allegations of issuing a yellow card to order.
An independent Football Association inquiry is presently ongoing.
The potential loss of his career is projected to cost Coote £1m in lost income over the next several years.
