Liverpool FC mourns the tragic loss of one of their beloved players, Diogo Jota, who passed away at the young age of 28. Jota, alongside his brother Andre Silva, was involved in a car accident in northern Spain, resulting in the loss of both their lives.
In an emotional statement posted on Liverpool's official website, head coach Arne Slot expressed his feelings and condolences to the family of the deceased. The coach wrote, "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."
Slot went on to express his thoughts and feelings not as a football manager, but as a father, a son, a brother, and an uncle. His heartfelt message to the family was, "You will never walk alone." He emphasized that the entire Liverpool FC family, including players, staff, and supporters, are with them during this difficult time.
Jota was set to return to Liverpool next week for pre-season, as the team prepares for the start of the 2025-26 campaign. The 28-year-old Portuguese forward was part of the national team in early June and had a promising summer ahead, which has been tragically cut short.
Jota's impact on the team was significant, scoring 65 goals and registering 26 assists in 182 appearances for the Reds. The entire football community is in shock and mourning the loss of such a talented and beloved player.
The club has not yet announced any plans for a memorial or celebration of Jota's life, but fans and supporters are encouraged to express their condolences and remember the unique qualities that Jota brought to the team.
Our thoughts and condolences go out to Jota's wife, Rute, his three children, and the parents of Diogo and Andre Silva. May they find solace and strength during this difficult time.
