Coote, 42, was suspended final month after the video emerged on social media wherein he branded Klopp “arrogant” and used offensive language.
“David Coote’s actions were found to be in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable.
“Supporting David Coote continues to be necessary to us and we stay dedicated to his welfare.”
The video appeared to check with a match that Coote officiated between Liverpool and Burnley in July 2020, which completed 1-1.
Klopp criticised Coote after the match, saying the referee had been too lenient in his therapy of Burnley challenges.
Coote can also be the topic of UEFA disciplinary proceedings after a video emerged of him allegedly snorting a white powder throughout Euro 2024.
The Soccer Affiliation is investigating additional allegations Coote mentioned betting on giving a yellow card with a fan earlier than a match in England’s second-tier Championship.
His last Premier League recreation was Liverpool’s 2-0 win towards Aston Villa on November 9.
