Liverpool owners: This is why we offered Jurgen Klopp a six-year deal
LIVERPOOL owners, Fenway Sports Group, claimed it would have been “irresponsible” of them not to secure Jurgen Klopp’s long term future at Anfield.
Jurgen Klopp and his assistants Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz all penned new deals
Klopp has today extended his contract until 2022 with assistants, Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz, also signing long term extensions.
FSG believe they recruited a “world class managerial talent” when bringing in Klopp to replace Brendan Rodgers last October and have tied him down to a new six year deal to remove any doubt as to the commitment of both parties moving forward.
“He is a world-class managerial talent and his leadership will be critical to everything we hope to achieve in the years ahead.”
Liverpool play their first pre-season friendly against non-league neighbours Tranmere tonight with £30m new boy Sadio Mane expected to feature.
