Klopp has taken to sharing his thoughts on the loss of Diogo, who joined Liverpool from Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2020. The manager is clearly struggling to come to terms with the news, saying that he is "heartbroken" to hear about the passing of Diogo and his brother André.
Diogo Jota was not only a talented player but also a kind and caring person, loved by his family, friends, and teammates. He played an important role during his five years with the Reds, contributing to several key moments, including scoring six times in Liverpool's recent Premier League-winning season. Klopp will have been close to Diogo before he left the club at the end of the 2023/24 season, making this loss particularly difficult for him and his teammates.
As a token of his respect and condolences, Klopp has offered his prayers, thoughts, and support to Diogo's loved ones, including his wife Rute, their children, and friends. His words are a testament to the impact Diogo had on those around him, and he will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him.
