JAKARTA - Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, signed a new contract until June 2026. In fact, his old contract will only expire in 2024.

Apart from Jurgen Klopp, his two assistants, Pepijn Lijnders and Peters Krawiezt, have also signed new contracts. They continue the work that began in October 2015.

"There are many words I can use to describe how I feel about this. Happy, humble, blessed, special and excited will be the start," Klopp told the club's official website.

"There is so much love about this place. I knew it before I came here, I got to know it better after I arrived and now I know it more than ever."

"As with any healthy relationship, it should always go both ways; you have to be right with each other. The feeling that we really fit in with each other is what brought me here in the first place and that's why I extended (the contract) earlier. " he explained.

He then added, "This one is different because it's been a long time we've been together. I have to ask myself: Is it right for Liverpool if I stay longer? Together with my two assistant managers, Pep Lijnders and Pete Krawietz, we came to the conclusion that it is is 'Yes!'"

This German manager said, while at Liverpool, the club owner was fully committed. In Billy Hogan and Julian Ward, Klopp feels Liverpool have a leader who is completely focused on renewal and refreshment so that they can continue to compete at the highest level.

He also said, Liverpool have managed to make the best of what they have created. The former Borussia Dortmund coach also said, Liverpool is a club that continues to move in the right direction.

The 54-year-old continued, his team had a clear idea of what they wanted and how to achieve it. That, he says, is always a great position to start in.

"When the owner brought me the possibility of updating I asked myself a question I had been thinking about publicly. Do I have the energy and vibe to give myself again what this amazing place needs from the people in the manager's office?" he said.

"It doesn't take me too long to answer the truth. The answer is very simple… I'm in love here and I feel fine!" concluded Jurgen Klopp.
