After tragic death
FC Liverpool pays Jota-widow full salary of her victory husband
The English champion from Liverpool supports the family of the victim player Diogo Jota. The club transfers two annual salaries to its surviving wife.
After Diogo Jota’s death, the shock also sits deep on the island. The 28-year-old was last under contract with the Premier League club FC Liverpool. His club now shows a large gesture.
According to Portuguese media, the English football club now wants to support the family of the former player and pay the remaining two annual salaries from Jota’s contract to its widow. He had recently married his wife Rod Cardoso. Diogo Jota leaves her and her three children together.
The Portuguese earned 583,000 euros per month in Liverpool. That corresponds to almost seven million euros a year. Since the contract is still running for two years, Jota’s family receives 14 million euros.

Diogo Jota and his younger brother André Silva, 25, died in a car accident in Spain on Thursday. A tire of the sports car with which they were traveling burst. The vehicle came off the road and then went up in flames. All help came too late for Jota and his brother.
In her home town of Gondomar in Portugal, a dead guard took place on Friday and the funeral took place on Saturday. Family, teammates and Portuguese politicians had come to honor Diogo Jota and his brother.
