It has been over a day since the devastating news of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva’s unfortunate demise has arrived and football managers have shared their reactions.
The footballing world was shocked when the information arrived yesterday as everyone was in disbelief that something this horrific might happen to a player who was going through perhaps the best phase of his life.
Jota, just after winning the Premier League with Liverpool, went on to win the Nations League title with Portugal and also got married with his longterm girlfriend Rute Cardoso on June 22.
During a trip in Spain with his brother Andre, reportedly while going to a ferry, the Lamborghini they were riding caught on fire and both of them were tragically killed.
Condolence messages have arrived from many officials.
I’m heartbroken to hear about the passing of Diogo and his brother André.
“Diogo was a not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a loving and caring husband and father!
Rest in peace.”
