Jürgen Klopp has extended his contract with former English record champions Liverpool FC. Having completed just nine months in office, the former Borussia Dortmund manager signed a new deal set to expire in 2022. The 49-year-old had assumed responsibilities in 2015 and originally was given a contract until 2018. He guided Liverpool into the Europa League and League Cup final in his first season.
"It’s hard to express in words how honoured I feel by the commitment shown in us by the ownership and the club in general," said Klopp. "I am the first to recognise that with this great commitment comes a great responsibility. There is much to do and much to achieve." The 18-time English champions ended last season in eighth place and suffered defeats in both of the finals they reached. However, Klopp gave the club and their fans a new impulse, as euphoria has returned to Anfield and the relationship is now set to last even longer.
