Diogo Jota's agent, Jorge Mendes, visited the mortuary where the late Liverpool star and his brother's bodies were being held in floods of tears.

The 28-year-old forward lost his life in a tragic car accident alongside his younger sibling Andre Silva.

Heartbreaking news broke on Thursday morning that Reds star Jota and his brother, 26, had passed away after a car accident in Zamora province, Spain.



Both Jota and his brother were declared dead at the scene.

Super agent Mendes, who counsels some of Portuguese football's biggest names, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Jose Mourinho, had long worked with the Liverpool forward, even since he arrived in the Premier League with Wolves.

Mendes spoke to reporters after his visit to the Puebla de Sanabria mortuary in Zamora, where Jota and his brother's bodies were being kept until Thursday evening.

"We lost two great people.

Jota and his brother's bodies were kept at the location until Thursday evening, when the hearses departed for the Liverpool forward's hometown of Gondomar, near Porto in Portugal.

We will all miss you."
