Diogo Jota's hometown club pays stunning tribute with new kit
The football world is still recovering from the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva after a car crash just over a month ago in Northern Spain. The former Liverpool forward was just weeks removed from winning the UEFA Nations League with Portugal and only days after marrying his long-term partner, with whom he shared three children. Countless tributes have poured in for the forward, including from Liverpool FC themselves. Just over a month on, his hometown club back in Portugal have announced how they're remembering Jota and his brother. TOPSHOT – A fan stands in front of a mural by artist Paul Curtis of Liverpool's late Portuguese striker Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. Pic: Darren Staples / AFP via Getty Images Gondomar SC, a club just outside of Porto in Northern Portugal, announced on their Instagram that both Jota and his brother Andre Silva will have their silhouettes on this season's home, away and third kit. The pair started off their footballing journeys at Gondomar before heading off to academy sides Pacos de Ferreira for Diogo and Porto for Andre Silva. Silva actually returned to play for the first team at Gondomar from 2021 until 2023 when he moved to Penafiel. Pic As well as featuring silhouettes of the brothers, their names as well as the infinity symbol will feature on the back of the collar of the kit. In a translated statement from the club's Instagram, Gondomar said; 'More than a jersey, a tribute eternal. Pic 'This season, Gondomar Sport Club enters the field with a heart full of memories and feelings. Our new jersey brings in great the image of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, two sons of Gondomar who left us too soon, but who will live forever in the history of our club and our football. 'Every time our athletes put on this jersey, it's like stepping on the field with them. Because football is more than victories and goals, it's legacy, it's family, it's love for our land.'

Man Utd introduce state-of-the-art technology to help Ruben Amorim keep tabs on ‘lazy' stars
RUBEN AMORM will use state-of-the-art technology to find out who isn't pulling their weight at Manchester United. The Portuguese gaffer has been nothing short of ruthless since replacing Erik ten Hag at the Old Trafford helm. 4 Ruben Amorim has been absolutely ruthless since taking charge of Manchester United Credit: GETTY 4 The Portuguese gaffer has banished the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho Credit: GETTY 4 Amorim will now use state-of-the-art technology to discover which of his players are slacking in training and matches Credit: GETTY Amorim has already banished Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia. And he could be set to add a few more names to his "bomb squad" thanks to the implementation of the most elite fitness apparatus. Amorim's troops will this season wear STATSports' Apex 2.0 GPS performance tracker vests during training and in matches to keep tabs on their respective outputs. The trackers will provide "real-time kinematics" to the former Sporting Lisbon boss and his staff with a whopping FIVE MILLION data points over a 90-minute period. READ MORE MAN UTD NEWS ALL SYSTEMS KO Man Utd match Newcastle's £74million Benjamin Sesko transfer bid The tracker is said to be 100 PER CENT accurate, meaning anyone deemed to be not pulling their weight will have no leg to stand on. STATSports managing director Paul McKernan told The Telegraph: "You can make decisions on the players based on data you see in front of you. "Not waiting until after the session and downloading the data and saying 'I wish Mason Mount had run a little bit further or done a few more sprints, or actually he did too much today." The writing is seemingly on the wall for any of the remaining stragglers, which Luke Shaw recently claimed are no longer present, in the Red Devils squad.
