Photograph: Peter Byrne\/PAShare<\/a> \u201cThese things are simply not meant to happen<\/strong> and, more than anything, Jota\u2019s death<\/a> is a personal tragedy. He was 28, recently married, a father of three and lost his life alongside his brother. One can only imagine the immense heartbreak being felt by his family and friends. And you only have to glance across mainstream and social media to see his passing has had a wider impact, few places more than at the club he called home for the past five years. Not for the first time, Liverpool Football Club are in mourning.\u201d<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n Today, we continue remembering the life of Diogo Jota,<\/strong> who tragically died with his younger brother, Andr\u00e9 Silva, in a car accident in north-western Spain yesterday morning. Tributes have continued to be shared across the world, with flowers, scarves and Liverpool shirts also lining the outskirts of Anfield in remembrance.<\/p>\n This evening, as the Euro 2025 group stage continues in Switzerland, teams and fans will pay tribute to the brothers prior to kick-off when Denmark face Sweden and Germany take on Poland.<\/p>\n Share<\/a> The WSL 2 club Southampton are on the verge of appointing the former Blackburn manager Simon Parker as their head coach, the Guardian can reveal.<\/strong><\/p>\n The 39-year-old spent the past two seasons in charge of Blackburn in the second tier, then known as the Women\u2019s Championship, but he left the Lancashire club in June after Blackburn\u2019s voluntary withdrawal from the division. He has a good reputation after keeping Blackburn clear of the relegation zone last term despite their low playing budget.<\/p>\n Parker has previously coached at Lewes and in Portugal and this move to Hampshire is understood to take him back closer to family and friends. Southampton had been searching for a permanent head coach since Remi Allen\u2019s departure by mutual consent in February.<\/p>\n Southampton finished eighth last season, a comfortable 14 points clear of the relegation zone but 22 points off the pace set by the champions, London City Lionesses.<\/p>\n![\"Sachin](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Sachin-Nakrani,-L.png\")
