Jürgen Klopp, the coach who took Diogo Jota to Liverpool in 2020, reacted with a message full of pain after knowing the death of the Portuguese striker and his brother André in a traffic accident in Spain. “I am shattered,” wrote the German coach, visibly affected by the news that shook the club and world football.
Klopp, who directed Jota for four seasons and with whom he won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the League Cup, shared his message on Instagram. “This is a time when I have to fight! There must be a greater purpose! But I can't see it!” He confessed. And he added words that go beyond sports: “Diogo was not only a fantastic player, but also a great friend, a affectionate and affectionate father and father. We will miss you a lot!”
The German closed his farewell by sending strength to the family: “All my prayers, thoughts and power for routing, children, family, friends and all who loved them. Rest in peace – with love.”
Diogo Jota arrived at Liverpool in September 2020 from Wolverhampton. Under the orders of Klopp, he scored 65 goals in 182 games and became a key piece, loved inside and outside the locker room for his near character. He was 28 years old, three young children and had married less than two weeks ago with Cardoso Rute, his lifelong partner.
The news of his death, along with his brother André, shocked companions, fans and Klopp himself, who left the club in 2024 but never lost the link with the squad he built.
