Jurgen Klopp's decision to extend his contract as Liverpool manager was aided by his special bond with the club's players and supporters.
The German's deal was due to end in 2024 but has now been extended until 2026, delighting fans and players alike. And in his programme notes ahead of the Reds' crucial home match against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening, Klopp has explained how the emotional connection he has with the Merseyside club made signing a renewed deal a no brainer.
Writing in his pre-match column, he said: “There is no secret why. We are in love with this place, and that connection is very much centred on people. The players are a huge factor in this. They are just the most incredible set of boys. From the oldest to the youngest, they inspire me each and every day with their talent and application.
