Liverpool manager, Arne Slot Reveals Last Conversation with Diogo Jota Before Tragic Death

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has opened up about his final conversation with Diogo Jota, the Portuguese forward who tragically died in a car accident in Spain alongside his younger brother, Andre Silva, on Thursday.

Slot, speaking to Liverpool’s official website, shared the emotional memory of wishing Jota well ahead of his planned wedding.

“The last time we spoke, I congratulated Diogo on winning the UEFA Nations League with Portugal and I wished him luck for his forthcoming wedding,” Slot said.

“In many ways, it was a dream summer for Diogo Jota and his family, which makes it all the more heartbreaking that it should end like this.”

Jota was a key figure in Liverpool’s successful campaign last season, playing an instrumental role as the Reds clinched the Premier League title. Since arriving at Anfield from Wolves five years ago, the 28-year-old forward had become a fan favorite, earning praise for his passion, work ethic, and clutch performances.

Slot, players, and fans alike are mourning the devastating loss, with tributes pouring in from across the football world.
