Liverpool manager Arne Slot honored Diogo Jota, who tragically died in a car crash in Spain, alongside his brother, Andre Silva. The accident occurred in Zamora when Jota, a key player for Liverpool since 2020, had made 182 appearances and contributed to their Premier League victory. Slot expressed heartfelt condolences, emphasizing the enormity of the loss felt by the team, family, and football community. He reassured Jota's family of the unwavering support from Liverpool FC and acknowledged the respect and love shared for the brothers both as players and individuals.
Jota, who made 182 appearances for Liverpool after joining in September 2020, was killed in an accident in Spain, along with his brother, Andre Silva.
Diogo was not just our player. He was loved by all of us. He was a team-mate, a colleague, a workmate and in all of those roles he was very special.
My first thoughts are not those of a football manager. They are of a father, a son, a brother and an uncle, and they belong to the family of Diogo and Andre Silva.
What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words, but I know I do not.
