Mourinho and David de Gea pay tribute to Silvino Louro

Jose Mourinho has paid tribute to former coach and long-time friend Silvino Louro after he tragically passed away. Louro has died at the age of 67, with reports suggesting that the former goalkeeping coach passed away after a prolonged illness.

Louro was one of Mourinho's most trusted aides, working as a goalkeeping coach across his spells at Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, and Manchester United. Vitor Baia, Petr Cech, and Julio Cesar were all named the UEFA best goalkeeper while working under the coach's tutelage. After a 23-year career in goal, Silvino began working under Mourinho, staying with him from 2001 to 2018.

Mourinho wrote on Instagram: “In my family you are still alive. I will still hear you saying before every game, ‘Bro, it’s gonna be okay.’” De Gea also wrote on social media:
