In the video, Coote is talking to a friend and telling him about his negative opinions of Liverpool and their boss at the time, Jurgen Kopp.
Given Coote is a VAR specialist for UEFA, he will see this as yet another blow to his career.
He had been involved in Champions League matches this term and was set to be involved in more such games.
He was part of the English officiating group for PSV vs Girona in the Champions League.
