Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has signed a two-year extension to his contract which will keep him at the club until 2026 and take his stay beyond a decade at Anfield. In the last month, the German had started to be asked questions about his future as he approached his final two years – especially with the deals of a number of senior players like Mohamed Salah for renewal next summer.
Jurgen Klopp said: “There are so many words I could use to describe how I am feeling about this news…delighted, humbled, blessed, privileged and excited would be a start. There is just so much to love about this place. I knew that before I came here, I got to know it even better after I arrived and now I know it more than ever before. Like any healthy relationship, it always has to be a two-way street; you have to be right for each other. The feeling we were absolutely right for each other is what brought me here in the first place and it’s why I’ve extended previously. This one is different because of the length of time we have been together. I had to ask myself the question: Is it right for Liverpool that I stay longer? Along with my two assistant managers, Pep Lijnders and Pete Krawietz, we came to the conclusion it was a ‘Yes! There is a freshness about us as a club still and this energises me. For as long as I have been here, our owners have been unbelievably committed and energetic about this club and it is clear that right now, this applies to our future as much as I’ve ever known.”
