Jurgen Klopp revealed that his wife Ulla Sandrock was one of the reasons he decided to extend his Liverpool contract for a further two years on top of his existing deal.
The news means the German manager will remain at the helm of the Reds and in Merseyside until 2026 alongside wife Ulla. The announcement stunned many given it has been widely expected for some time that Klopp would call time on his Liverpool spell in 2024.
Having joined the club in 2015, this new extension will see Klopp's Reds tenure go beyond the 10-year-mark - though he is already the Premier League's longest serving manager. The Anfield legend first met his wife at Oktoberfest in Munich before tying the knot in 2005 and joked that his new contract was all part of being a "good husband" given his wife's desire to remain in Liverpool.
