Jurgen Klopp news: Liverpool manager signs contract extension until 2026
Jurgen Klopp will extend his managerial stay at Anfield until 2026 after signing a two-year extension to his contract with Liverpool.
He is set to become Liverpool's fourth longest-serving manager after Tom Watson, Bill Shankly and George Kay, surpassing the great Bob Paisley's eight years and 11 months.
Klopp is already the Premier League's longest-serving manager following Sean Dyche's sacking by Burnley earlier this month.
Klopp told liverpoolfc.com: "We are a club that is constantly moving in the right direction.
We are delighted to announce Jürgen Klopp has signed a new contract to extend his commitment with the club! 🔴
