In the early morning of April 29, Beijing time, Liverpool officially announced that it had extended his contract with German coach Klopp for 2 years until June 2026. After the renewal, Klopp's annual salary will also be higher than the current after-tax £10 million.
Klopp's contract expires in June 2024, which means that Uncle Scum will only coach for two more seasons with the Reds. However, the Liverpool hierarchy clearly did not want to let go of the team's manager when the team was at its peak. Club owner Michael Gordon, chairman of fenway group, came to Liverpool this week and the most important goal of his trip was to renew his contract with Klopp.
And after Liverpool showed great sincerity, Klopp also changed his mind. Previously, the reason why Uncle Scum wanted to leave Liverpool in 2024 was largely because of his family. Now Klopp's wife is watching the team's away game against Manchester City, which is seen as a signal that she supports Klopp to continue to coach Liverpool. In addition, Klopp did not want his team to lose his job because of the impact of his own stay. In the end, Uncle Scum chose to renew his contract for another 2 years and lead the team to 2026. If Klopp fulfills the contract, he will coach the Reds for more than 10 years.
On 8 October 2015, Klopp replaced Rodgers as the new Reds manager, and so far, he has led the team in a total of 371 games, with a record of 232 wins, 77 draws and 62 losses. Under Klopp's leadership, Liverpool won 1 Champions League, 1 UEFA Super League, 1 Premier League, 1 Club World Cup, and 1 English League Cup, and 2 world best club coaches.
This season, Liverpool have won the League Cup, the FA Cup has reached the final, the 10th Champions League final is just around the corner, and the league is only one point behind the leaders Manchester City. The Reds are currently hoping to beat the title in the FA Cup, Champions League and Premier League. It is believed that the good news of Klopp's contract extension will also inspire the Reds players to launch a stronger impact on the "quadruple champions" at the end of the season.
