Pele's daughter has posted an emotional tribute to the football legend after he died aged 82 on Thursday.
The three-time World Cup winner with Brazil had been battling illness in hospital for a month, with his family at his side. Following confirmation of his death, Kely Nascimento wrote on Instagram: "Everything we are is thanks to you. We love you infinitely. Rest in peace."
Pele suffered from kidney and prostate problems in recent years. He was admitted to Albert Einstein Jewish Hospital in Sao Paulo on November 29, after picking up a respiratory infection and for "re-evaluation of the chemotherapy treatment over colon cancer identified in September 2021," according to an official statement.
