Seeing you come together in your hundreds of thousands on the streets of Liverpool for the title celebrations only reinforced that idea. That only weeks after celebrating together we would lose Diogo is indescribable.“More than anything, I want to remember a teammate, a friend and an incredible human being who touched the lives of thousands of you every time he wore this club’s famous crest.“In one of the most difficult moments this club has faced, the love, compassion and support shown by the Liverpool family was extraordinary.
As I leave this club, it would be remiss of me not to say that the way you honoured Diogo and stood together in his memory will stay with me forever.“The connection we share goes beyond football, beyond European nights under the Anfield lights or the sound of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ being sung from The Kop.“You made me feel welcome from the start and helped me on the path. Of course, it is important to say thank you.”Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
