Liverpool manager Arne Slot proudly confirmed rumours that the club’s owners have paid the full contents of Diogo Jota’s salary to his family after the Portuguese forward tragically passed away over the summer, an act of compassion which the Dutch coach stressed was not the norm in football.
Jota was killed alongside his younger brother André in a car crash in Spain on the morning of July 3. The world of football united in their mourning of two young men taken in the prime of life, while attention soon turned towards the family left behind.
