Three weeks ago came the sad news that former D.C. United and New York Red Bulls midfielder Kuykendall had passed away at the age of just 32 after a year-long battle with Thymic cancer.

Kuykendall had once played against Chelsea in a pre-season friendly, and upon hearing the news, Mourinho wrote a letter of suuport to his family.

The letter was as follows:

Dear Mr and Mrs Kuykendall,

I was deeply saddened to hear of your son's passing. I can only imagine the grief of a parent losing a child and my heart goes out to you both.

I hope you and your family find great strength in the shared memories of Shawn's life at this toughest of times and also in the future.

The football family has lost a fine young man, and everyone's thoughts at Chelsea FC are with you, your family and Shawn's friends.

With much sympathy,

Yours sincerely,

José Mourinho
