It’s a contract announcement which has been greeted with delirium on Merseyside, but perhaps not the one Liverpool supporters anticipated.
On Thursday it was confirmed that Jurgen Klopp had signed a two-year extension which will see him remain at the Premier League giants until at least 2026. Previously, it had been expected that the talismanic German head coach could call time on his stint at Anfield when his deal expired in 2024.
Mirror Football reported that it was Klopp himself who initiated the talks over a new deal - despite having refused to discuss an extension when the club had previously put forward the idea. But with a Liverpool team still in the hunt for an unprecedented quadruple, his hunger is as strong as ever.
