In a video released by the Portugal Football Federation (FPF), Roberto Martínez said: “We have all been affected by this tragedy. We are all devastated.”

“Our thoughts go to his wife Rute, their three children and the rest of the family, and to Diogo Jota and André Silva’s friends.

“We have created a family in the national team that goes far beyond football. And Diogo is an important part of that – on and off the field. His professionalism and belief were both contagious and exemplary. On the pitch, Diogo wore the jersey with pride and his work on the field is world-class.

“We feel the family's pain and, in this tragedy, we question life in general. Portugal will miss one of its heroes.”

In his tribute, Kelleher writes:

"We bonded over all things, sports, watching any football match we could find - often your brother Andre’s game on your iPad.

"I was surprised a lad from Portugal loved sports such as darts, snooker and horse racing so much and some of my best memories were having a laugh watching them with you.

"You were such a fun genuine, normal down to earth and loving family man and always very competitive I’m gonna miss our pre-match programme quiz.

"I feel so blessed and grateful to have seen you on your happiest day, the day of your wedding and to be able to share in that day with you was special. I’ll never forget it.

"You were deeply loved by everyone at the club, the city and all over the world.

"It’s gonna hurt for a long time and I’m gonna miss you so much but I feel so lucky to have got know you and have such a good friend."

Here's a reminder of what we know about Diogo Jota's journey from Portugal to Spain.

Police have said Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva died when their Lamborghini left a road in the Spanish town of Zamora after a tyre blowout - it then caught fire.

Jota was returning to England for pre-season training via a ferry from Santander after being advised not to fly following minor surgery.

Zamora, close to the Portuguese border, is 305km from Porto, and a similar distance from the northern port city.

It is understood Jota had completed the journey in reverse to get to Porto for his wedding.

A vigil for Diogo Jota and his younger brother, André Silva, is taking place in their home suburb of Gondomar in the Portuguese city of Porto.
