Liverpool har offentliggjort att Jürgen Klopp har skrivit på ett nytt kontrakt med klubben. De assisterande tränarna Zeljko Buvac och Peter Krawietz har också gjort klart med nya långtidskontrakt.

John Henry, Tom Werner och Mike Gordon släppte en gemensam kommentar om Klopps nya kontrakt: “When you have an individual of Jürgen’s quality in the building it makes perfect sense to secure that person for the long term. To not do so would be irresponsible.

“The overriding motivation behind this decision is Jürgen’s commitment to overall improvement and development. In Jürgen we have someone who is always looking ahead, always looking beyond his own wants and needs and putting the club first.

“The ideas and plans he has for the football infrastructure excite us and we believe it benefits the organisation to have Jürgen committed to Liverpool for a sustained period, to make sure he is here to oversee this development. By making this commitment to him, we are taking away any future distractions or doubt. We will move forward in partnership together, with confidence in each other and with the club’s future at the forefront of every decision.

“He is a world-class managerial talent and his leadership will be critical to everything we hope to achieve in the years ahead.”
