Jurgen Klopp has agreed to a new Liverpool deal that will keep him at the club until 2024.
The German, led Liverpool to their sixth Champions League trophy back in June against a Pochettino-led Tottenham Hotspur.
His impressive development of Liverpool has seen them go unbeaten in 16 games in the current campaign. They sit comfortably on top of the table with 46 points drawing just one game against Manchester United.
Assistant manager Peter Krawietz and Pepijn Lijnders have also agreed to deals to continue working collaboratively alongside Klopp.
Klopp has detailed his belief that the benefits for both parties of this agreement mean there is nowhere else in the world football he would want to manage.
The German said: “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
“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.
“If I didn’t I would not be re-signing.
“This club is in such a good place, I couldn’t contemplate leaving.
“I must also highlight the role of our sporting director, Michael Edwards, in this journey so far. His input and collaboration have been just as important as anyone else’s in getting us into a position to compete for the game’s top titles.
“For anyone in football who aspires to compete in an environment where every element of the organisation is at its very best – from the support of the supporters to the vision of the owners – there can be no better place than this,” he said.
Liverpool is currently having a splendid season. They have qualified as group winners in the champions league and are waiting for whom they will be drawn against for the Round of 16 phase which comes off on Monday 16th December 2019.
