Klopp signs new six-year deal at Liverpool

 

Liverpool have announced Jurgen Klopp has signed a new six-year deal keeping him at Anfield until 2022.

The former Borussia Dortmund manager had entered the final two years of the original deal he signed but he has now committed his future by a further six years.

 

“It’s hard to express in words how honoured myself, Zeljko and Peter feel by the commitment shown in us by the ownership and the club in general,” Klopp told Liverpool’s website.

 

“We are very much at the beginning of our journey, but to already have the connection we have with this very special place in incredible.

 

“I am the first to recognise that with this great commitment comes a great responsibility. All of our coaching careers we have looked to make teams and clubs better, with the ultimate goal of making the supporters proud and happy.”
