Liverpool fans have taken to social media to express their delight after the club confirmed that Coach Jurgen Klopp has signed a new deal.
The German tactician has been with the Reds since 2015 and led them to the UEFA Champions League in 2019. There was speculation surrounding his future with some reports linking him with a move away from the club.
He has however committed to the Reds by signing a contract that will keep him at the club until 2024.
“For me personally this is a statement of intent, one which is built on my knowledge of what we as a partnership have achieved so far and what is still there for us to achieve. When I see the development of the club and the collaborative work that continues to take place, I feel my contribution can only grow,” read his statement in part.
“People see what happens on the pitch as a measure of our progress and although it is the best measure, it’s not the only measure. I have seen the commitment from ownership through to every aspect and function of the club you can think of”.
“When the call came in autumn 2015, I felt we were perfect for each other; if anything, now I feel I underestimated that. It is only with a total belief that the collaboration remains totally complimentary on both sides that I am able to make this commitment to 2024,” he added.
Club supporters across the world hailed the move as according to them it means more on-pitch success for the club.

Jurgen Klopp is getting a statue before he leaves this club. I’ll even volunteer to build it for him.
