Jurgen Klopp has signed a new contract that will keep him at Liverpool until 2024.
The Reds boss has ended speculation he may exit the club when his current deal expires in 2022, and says he “couldn’t contemplate” leaving.
Klopp’s assistants, Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders, have also agreed new contracts.
The news comes with Liverpool eight points clear at the top of the Premier League and having secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League. Next week they will seek to become Club World Champions for the first time, while they also have Carabao Cup and FA Cup ties to look forward to in the next month.
Klopp 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.”
After penning his new deal, Klopp paid tribute to Fenway Sports Group, the club’s owners, for the faith they have shown in him since his appointment in October 2015.
He said: “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.”
