Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho interrupted his own press conference to pay a special tribute to Prince Philip.
Philip, 99, was the longest-serving consort in British history and passed away on Friday.
The Duke and the Queen were married for more than 70 years and Philip dedicated decades of his life to royal duty, serving the nation at the monarch's side.
Mourinho was clearly a fan of the Duke, and made a special effort to pay tribute to him as he spoke on Zoom ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester United.
"I want to express my condolences to the Royal family," he said.
"To be very honest, I have a deep, deep, deep respect for the Royal family. All my condolences. It's not just this country sharing this feeling.
"I have the utmost respect. I feel sad for the departure of Prince Philip on a personal basis, because I have only positive feelings for the meaning of the family.
"I feel very sorry. But unfortunately it is life and we have to keep going."
Announcing the death, the Palace said in a statement: "It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.
"His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.
"Further announcements will made in due course.
"The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss."
Philip had returned to Windsor Castle on March 16 to be reunited with the Queen after spending a month in hospital - his longest ever stay.
He initially received care for an infection but then underwent heart surgery for a pre-existing condition.
