LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp has signed a two-year contract extension that will keep him at Anfield until 2026, the Premier League club announced on Thursday.
Klopp’s previous contract was due to expire in 2024 and he has won the UEFA Champions League and Premier League titles since arriving at Liverpool in 2015.
“Liverpool Football Club is delighted to announce Jürgen Klopp has signed a new contract to extend his commitment with the club,” the English club announced on their official website.
“The deal means the manager will remain at the helm of the Reds beyond the expiry of his previous deal, which was set to end in 2024.
“Assistants Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz have also put pen to paper on new terms, mirroring those of Klopp’s and reaffirming their dedication to the project, which began with the German’s appointment in October 2015.”
Klopp, who could lead Liverpool to an unprecedented quadruple of Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup trophies this season, said he was delighted to sign the extension.
“There is a freshness about us as a club still and this energises me,” Klopp said in a statement. “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.
“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.
“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.”
Liverpool have already won the Carabao Cup this season and are second in the Premier League.
They are also in the Champions League semi-finals and will face Chelsea in the FA Cup final.
