The Manager of Liverpool Football Club, Jurgen Klopp has agreed for an extension of his contract with the club to 2024. The deal comes after four years of his being in charge of Liverpool.

Klopp in response to his contract extension said: “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.

“When the call came in autumn 2015, I felt we were perfect for each other; if anything, now I feel I underestimated that. It is only with a total belief that the collaboration remains totally complementary on both sides that I am able to make this commitment to 2024.

“If I didn’t I would not be re-signing. This club is in such a good place, I couldn’t contemplate leaving.”

Klopp was initially appointed as Liverpool manager on October 8, 2015 after seven seasons in charge of Borrusia Dortmund.
