Jurgen Klopp signs Liverpool contract extension until 2026 (ESPN)

Jurgen Klopp has signed a contract extension at Liverpool that will see him remain at Anfield until 2026, the club announced on Thursday.

Do I have the energy and vibe to give of myself again what this amazing place requires from the person in the manager's office? It also applies to the leader he is and the man he is. He guided Liverpool to the first Premier League title in the club's history in 2020 after they lifted the Champions League trophy the previous year. "There is a freshness about us as a club still and this energises me. I had to ask myself the question: Is it right for Liverpool that I stay longer? The feeling we were absolutely right for each other is what brought me here in the first place and it's why I've extended previously.

The worst of the lot with the highest net spend between 2012 and 2022 is Manchester United with €1,075bn. Even Liverpool’s closest rivals (Manchester City) at this time have a net spend of €984m over the last decade. They have initiated talks with the 54-year-old before the final whistle of their Champions League “first-half” victory against the Yellow Submarine. Besides an all-English final being two clean sheets away, if Klopp managers to get his team to the Stade de France, it will be their third one this season. The Reds enjoyed an efficient run out on Wednesday night in the first leg of the Champions League Semifinal. The German has his side, late on in the campaign, fighting for all major honors still.

Jurgen Klopp signs new contract to stay at Liverpool until 2026 (Independent Online)

The German, whose previous deal was due to expire in 2024, said he was 'delighted, humbled, blessed' to be staying for an extra two years.

His contract expires next year, at the same time as those for fellow forwards Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino run out. The feeling we were absolutely right for each other is what brought me here in the first place and it's why I've extended previously." "There is just so much to love about this place," he said. Klopp is already the longest-serving manager in the Premier League and should he see out his new deal it would mean an 11-year stay -- a rarity at one of the world's biggest clubs in the modern game. Klopp's quote echoes the new chant to the tune of The Beatles song "I Feel Fine" -- dedicated to the Reds boss. He added: "When the owners brought the possibility to renew to me, I asked myself the question I've mused over publicly -- 'Do I have the energy and vibe to give of myself again what this amazing place requires from the person in the manager's office?'

The tables from five years ago have been well and truly turned for Liverpool. Where they were once clueless when having lots of possession, their opponents are now hopeless in both attacking and defensive terms when they do. While they had been under pressure for much of their quarter-final tie with Bayern Munich, they were still able to break out and have a total of 16 shots in the 180 minutes. It was the seventh time Liverpool have scored from a high turnover in the league this season, more than any other team in the division. There’s a famous image of Adam Lallana almost collapsing in his manager’s arms when he was substituted in Klopp’s first game in charge, a 0-0 draw at Tottenham. The Reds were now a high pressing team and determined to prove that whether home or away. Liverpool were repeatedly set this test in 2015/16 and then Klopp’s first full season at the helm, and repeatedly they failed it. If you wanted to look at how far Liverpool have come under the management of Jürgen Klopp, you only have to look at the competitions they have won and continue to compete for these days, compared with when he was first appointed.

The manager has signed a two-year contract extension, keeping him at Anfield until 2026.

And Liverpool has one foot in what would be its third Champions League final in five years after beating Villarreal 2-0 this week in the semi-final first leg. In interviews, he is passionate and honest. He says the “freshness” of the club still “energizes” him. His "new story" has included the Premier League title in 2019/20 – Liverpool's first for 30 years – and the Champions League in 2019. The performances of his team this season, though, have convinced Klopp to stay. That when his contract had been due to expire in 2024, he might step away, if only temporarily, from the game.

JURGEN KLOPP arrived at Liverpool with ambitious plans and the Reds boss is well on his way to completing his objectives.

One thing which is for certain is that with Klopp extending his reign over the Kop, there will be more success to come. They may have lacked belief before, but the German insists the fans must give their full support if they want to see Liverpool perform - and that reciprocal relationship has made Anfield a fortress and the Reds a team to be feared. And in comparing Liverpool's rise to the other members of the 'Big Six', Klopp can confidently check that box with gusto. Success can be an ambiguous term, but for Liverpool, conquering the Premier League for the first time in 30 years and also Europe in the same cycle, there is no other word to describe their achievements. But between 2019 and 2020, his side were English, European and World Champions. That scenario is something Liverpool fans wouldn't have dared of dreaming of when Klopp was appointed in October 2015. Liverpool have won the Premier League, Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup and Carabao Cup during Klopp's time in charge.

Jürgen Klopp could find new role for Joe Gomez next season and ... (Liverpool.com)

Joe Gomez has fallen down the Liverpool pecking order since the arrival of Ibrahima Konaté last summer, but there are reasons to be optimistic for 2022/23.

Matip has yet to play more than six Premier League games in a row this season, and during all three of those runs of six, he has been rested for the intervening cup games, including some of the bigger Champions League fixtures. For the time being, Gomez will have to settle for minutes as back-up right back until pre-season allows everyone the chance to stake their claim for a starting spot. Luckily, Klopp was not among them, and alongside his sports science team has devised a structure that has allowed Matip to produce the best form of his career. Virgil van Dijk has spoken of how he expects the pair to retire him at some stage. Were Matip to feature in every Liverpool game between now and the season's end, he would break his own career record for appearances in a season. A big part of that strategy is knowing when to take him out of the firing line. Five minutes as a fifth defender in the unforgettable return leg at Anfield meant that he was there for the celebrations, but once again as an extra as opposed to one of the main characters. All of this would suggest that should the Dutch go deep into the tournament, Van Dijk will need to be managed carefully once he returns to club action. Van Dijk played the entirety of both March friendlies against Denmark and Germany — traditionally a time where club and international managers agree to manage the minutes of the best and most important players. These are the days that Liverpool fans will never forget as their team looks capable of sweeping all before them, but for the players, these are the days that it hurts to miss. As it stands, the current format represents two extra games, but with the World Cup taking up most of December, it remains to be seen when these games will be played and how much disruption they will cause. The 24-year-old has already missed plenty of big games and significant moments in his Liverpool career and would have enjoyed getting a chance to soak up the atmosphere from the pitch and celebrate the win, knowing he played some part.

Carlo Ancelotti's side may have knocked Liverpool out of the Champions League last season, but the performance in the return leg at Anfield saw the Reds dominate the game in a way which has been difficult to re-create against Manchester City in the current campaign.

Mo Salah, beware: 9 players that flopped after leaving Jurgen Klopp (PlanetFootball)

Jurgen Klopp is one of the best managers in the world and recently signed a new deal to keep him at Liverpool until 2026, but despite being adored by fans ...

“He [Klopp] was disappointed. I am still in touch with Jurgen Klopp.” Can thought he was upgrading, but Liverpool would go on to win the Champions League in the season after he left, whilst he was a disaster in Turin. “Our coach [Klopp] was stupid. The German international was a reliable and versatile player at Liverpool but ran down his contract and joined Juventus on a free transfer in 2018. Here you can be something more.” Like Gotze, Kagawa’s second spell at the club wasn’t as impressive as his first, and while he won a Premier League title at United, those two years hampered the progress he was making in Germany. The Japanese playmaker was sensational at Borussia Dortmund but could not resist a move to Manchester United in 2012 when Sir Alex Ferguson came knocking on his door. There was considerable surprise when Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum chose not to sign a new contract at Liverpool and he looked set to join Barcelona on a free transfer in the summer of 2021. Mario [Gotze] felt a knock in the game against Real Madrid and was then taken to a Munich hospital,” Santana stated shortly after his departure. Dortmund would go on to lose to Bayern in the Champions League final, with Gotze conveniently ‘injured’, but his time in Munich was ultimately a disappointment. While the Brazilian was a star at Liverpool, they used his transfer fee to sign Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson and the rest is history.

This is the type of team where Klopp has shown he can make seven changes in a Champions League quarter-final and still get a strong result. In this two-pronged Premier League title race, that depth is Liverpool's greatest strength and Klopp's biggest advantage — an unthinkable edge considering the relative gap in spending power. If not for a lack of minutes, Gomez could easily have a starting berth for England, Jota is a linchpin of the Portugal side, and Keïta is Guinea's captain. For example, there was no space in the squad for Takumi Minamino, who has scored nine goals for Liverpool this season, nor for Liverpool's hero last weekend, Divock Origi. This is not an ordinary squad. And the fear was hardly irrational.
