Former Manchester United and Chelsea goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro has died aged 67, prompting a series of heartfelt tributes from his long-time collaborator Jose Mourinho and the global football community.
Jose Mourinho shared a poignant tribute to Silvino Louro, his trusted assistant of many years, who passed away Thursday at age 67.
Louro supported Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester United, helping secure numerous major trophies.
Mourinho wrote on Instagram: “Now I cry, but I’ll be able to laugh, laugh a lot, talk about you, remember every moment. In the Mourinho family you’ll stay alive.”
The former Portugal international worked with elite goalkeepers like Petr Cech and David De Gea during his distinguished career.
Manchester United and Chelsea both issued statements expressing deep sorrow and extending condolences to Louro’s family.
Benfica, where Louro spent a significant portion of his 23-year playing career, stated he would “forever remain in the memory” of their fans for his immense contributions to the club.
