Former Liverpool head coach, Jurgen Klopp, reacted to the passing of Diogo Jota and his brother André.

The duo died in a car accident in the early hours of Thursday in Spain.

In a post on his Instagram account, Klopp said he was heartbroken over the death of both fantastic footballers.

The German gaffer described Jota as a “fantastic player,” adding that he was a “great friend and a loving father.”

Klopp, who admitted that Jota will be missed so much as he also condoled Jota’s wife Rute and their children, coached the player during his time at Liverpool, having signed the Portuguese from Premier League side Wolves in 2020.
