Liverpool has confirmed that head coach Jurgen Klopp has signed a new two-year contract extension with the Reds, keeping him at the Merseyside club until the summer of 2024.
The German manager sees the agreement as an indication of which direction the club is heading towards, convinced that Liverpool’s development will only continue to grow.
This extension makes his commitment to the club the longest in his managerial career so far as he looks to take Liverpool to the glory that the fans were previously used to as they are sitting at the summit of the Premier League table.
Klopp spent seven years each at his previous clubs FSV Mainz and Borussia Dortmund and if he is allowed to see out this new contract, he will be at the helm at Anfield for eight and a half seasons.
This news will come as a major positive sign for Liverpool fans and the club as a whole, who were uncertain about Klopp’s future at the club because his previous contract ran out at the end of the 2021/22 season. The Champions League-winning manager has a give-it-all approach to the job with passion and hard work, and that Anfield faithful did not know whether or not he would choose to extend his stay beyond his routine seven years.
Upon signing his contract extension the 52-year-old explained why he personally wanted to remain with the Premier League table toppers, “For me, personally, this is a statement of intent, one which is built on my knowledge of what we as a partnership have achieved so far and what is still there for us to achieve, When I see the development of the club and the collaborative work that continues to take place, I feel my contribution can only grow. People see what happens on the pitch as a measure of our progress and, although it is the best measure, it’s not the only measure. I have seen the commitment from ownership through to every aspect and function of the club you can think of.”
