Jürgen Klopp has extended his contract with Liverpool FC until 2026. This was confirmed by the Premier League club on Thursday.
First, the magazine "The Athletic" reported about it.
Just a few weeks ago, the former Dortmund champion coach announced his departure for 2024 after nine years in Liverpool.
"My plan is to stay until 2024, and then I'll say: thank you very much," he said in March.
Klopp has been the Reds manager since 2015.
During this time he led the club back to the top of Europe.
In 2019 he won the Champions League with Liverpool, in 2020 the first championship in 30 years.
This year even the historic title four-pack beckons.
Liverpool have already won the League Cup, have reached the FA Cup final against Chelsea and coach Thomas Tuchel, and in the Premier League LFC are just a point behind long-time rivals Manchester City.
