Jurgen Klopp will remain Liverpool’s coach for years to come. On Thursday, the coach extended his contract, which means that he is stuck at Anfield until mid-2026. Klopp’s previous contract expired in the summer of 2024. It is reported that Klopp’s assistants, including Pepijn Lijnders, have also signed up until the summer of 2026.
Klopp was appointed in October 2015 to succeed the fired Brendan Rodgers. He has since won several major trophies with Liverpool, including the Champions League, the UEFA Supercup, the Club World Cup (all in 2019), the English league title (in 2020) and the EFL Cup (in 2022). In the current season, Liverpool is still in the race for the league title, the FA Cup and the Champions League. Thanks to the 2-0 win over Villarreal on Wednesday evening, the final of the Champions League is near.
According to The Athletic it was taken into account that Klopp would opt for a sabbatical after his contract expires in 2024. “But the German has been given new energy by the hunt for the quadruple“, according to the usually reliable source. Klopp himself recently announced that he would make a decision about his future based on the energy he feels. The 54-year-old coach has been at the helm of 1. FSV Mainz 05 in the past and Borussia Dortmund.
