Tributes poured in from across the world of sport, not just football.
His club described the loss of the 28-year-old as “devastating”.
Manager Slot has now penned his own heartfelt tribute for the Portuguese footballer, saying he was “loved by all”.
In a tribute shared on Liverpool’s website, Slot, 46, said: “What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words but I know I do not.
“All I have are feelings that I know so many people will share about a person and a player we loved dearly and a family we care so much about.
“My first thoughts are not those of a football manager. They are of a father, a son, a brother and an uncle and they belong to the family of Diogo and Andre Silva who have experienced such an unimaginable loss.”
