Jota has posted an emotional farewell message to Ange Postecoglou after the manager left Celtic for Tottenham Hotspur.
The Greek-Australian coach completed a switch to North London on Tuesday as he signed a four-year deal with Spurs.
Now, Jota has thanks Postecoglou for bringing him to Celtic as he wished him all the best down south.
The winger initially signed on loan from Benfica before agreeing a permanent move to the club in the summer.
And Jota hailed Postecoglou for giving him the opportunity of a lifetime by signing him for Celtic.
Sharing a picture of himself with Postecoglou, Jota wrote on Instagram: "To a man who gave me a life opportunity, never lost believe [sic] in his philosophy and marked an Era.
"I'll forever be grateful for every moment.
"Best of luck gaffer!"
Commenting after Postecoglou's departure, Celtic captain Callum McGregor said: “It has been great to work with the gaffer over the past two seasons and to achieve the success that we have, especially achieving yet another treble at the weekend.
“In fact, to win five out of six domestic trophies is a tremendous achievement and that is testament to the real focus and relentlessness of the manager, the players and our whole backroom team who have all worked so hard.
“I thank all our supporters again for what they have given us this year. The scenes at Hampden and Celtic Park, when we celebrated our success together will stay with me forever.
“We have delivered something very special to our fans and done it, under the manager’s direction by playing an exciting and attractive brand of football. As all the players do, I wish Ange great success in his next challenge.
“We move on ourselves to our own challenges too. Our performances this season mean we will take our place deservedly in the Champions League and we can’t wait for it.
"It will be brilliant to have these great nights back at Celtic Park and I am sure our fans are looking forward to experiencing this again, as well as watching us striving to defend all our domestic titles.
“The players will enjoy a well-earned break and when we return we will get right behind the new manager, we will be united and, as ever, will do all we can to bring our fans continued success.”
