Jurgen Klopp signs new Liverpool deal: what happens next at Anfield?

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has signed a new two-year extension to remain at Anfield until the summer of 2026.

Klopp, 54, who had two-years left on his current deal, previously claimed he could step down at the end of his contract.

His assistants Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders have also penned new deals to remain on Merseyside.

President of Fenway Sports Group (FSG) Mike Gordon had discussed with Klopp’s agent Marc Kosicke over extending his deal at Anfield, and it has now been delivered.

The German has won five trophies in his seven years at the club, including the Premier League after a 30-year wait and the Champions League in 2019.

"There's something to announce. Like last time, some will like it, some will not like it too much. If you do not like it, stop watching now”, Klopp said after signing.

"I stay for another two years. And not only me! No, all my coaches as well, which is the most important actually.”

FSG’s financial package is already kicking in. The extension of the Anfield Road end is well underway and this will increase Anfield’s capacity by a further 6,000 for the start of the new season.

The fact the Liverpool owners have agreed new deals for Klopp and his key backstaff also shows that the German's intended plans for the team and its overhaul must have been agreed.

There are four players contracts that end on June 30 this year, and it is likely that stalwart James Milner will be offered a new one-year extension, given his age of 36.

Anfield folk hero Divock Origi, however, is likely to be allowed to seek pastures new, with AC Milan heavily linked with the 27-year-old.
