Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp found himself at the centre of another refereeing storm after a fiery exchange with official David Coote during a recent match. The incident has drawn the attention of Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) chief Howard Webb, who is now reviewing the altercation.
Klopp's Outburst Raises Eyebrows
The animated German manager was visibly frustrated with several decisions made by Coote throughout the game. Witnesses reported a particularly heated discussion between the pair after the final whistle, with Klopp allegedly questioning the referee's competence.
Webb Steps In to Calm Tensions
PGMOL head Howard Webb has reportedly spoken to both parties in an attempt to defuse the situation. Sources suggest Webb is keen to maintain positive relationships between officials and managers, especially with high-profile figures like Klopp.
History of Controversy
This isn't the first time Klopp has clashed with match officials. The Liverpool manager has developed a reputation for passionate touchline behaviour, which has occasionally landed him in hot water with the football authorities.
Football pundits are divided on the incident, with some defending Klopp's passion while others believe such confrontations undermine respect for referees. The FA is yet to announce whether any disciplinary action will be taken.
