Liverpool head coach Arne Slot issued a eulogy to Portugal international forward Diogo Jota through the club's official website on Thursday evening after receiving the tragic news that the player and his brother André Silva, who were in the same car, were killed in a car accident in Zamora, Spain in the early hours of the morning.

Slot wrote in his eulogy: "What can I say? What can I say in such a moment of shock and pain? How I wish I could express it in words, but I know I can't."

"All my feelings, which I know many people will share, are about a person we love deeply, a player, and a family we care so much about."

"My first thought is not a football coach, but a father, a son, a brother and an uncle, who belong to the families of Diogo and André Silva, who have experienced such unimaginable losses."

"My message to them is very clear, you will never walk alone. Liverpool's players, staff and fans are with you, and from what I have seen today, I will be with you. "The thoughts of the entire football family are with you."

"This is not just a response to the tragedy, but also to the kindness of those involved and the respect that so many have shown the children and the whole family."

"The shock is absolute for our club. Diogo was more than just a player. He was a person we all loved. He was our team-mate, colleague, colleague, and in all these roles he was so special."

"I could say a lot about what he gave to the team, but the fact is that everyone who watched Diogo play could see it. The effort, the desire, the dedication, the great quality, the goals. That's what a Liverpool player should be."

"Diogo also showed a side that not everyone saw. He Never sought fame, but earned it. He was not just a friend to two people, but to everyone. He made people feel confident just by being around them. He loved his family dearly."

“The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo on winning the Nations League and wished him all the best for his upcoming wedding. In so many ways, it has been a dream summer for Diogo and his family, which makes it all the more heartbreaking that it has ended this way."

“One of the first songs I heard when I arrived at the club was the one the fans sang for Diogo. I had never worked with him before, but I immediately realised that if Liverpool fans, who have seen so many great players over the years, could sing such a unique tribute to Diogo, He must have had extraordinary qualities."

"We have not yet come to terms with the fact that we lost them in such terrible circumstances. Therefore, we need everyone at the club to unite and help each other. This is our responsibility to Diogo, to André Silva, to their extended family and to ourselves."

"My condolences go to Diogo's wife, Rute, their three wonderful children and to Diogo and André Silva's parents."

"When the time comes, we will celebrate Diogo Jota, we will remember his goals and we will sing his praises. For now, we will remember him as a unique person and mourn his loss. He will never be forgotten."

"His name is Diogo."
