Renewal confirmed: Jürgen Klopp will remain Liverpool manager until 2026

The German technical director will continue to fight for the top titles alongside Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz, Sadio Mané and all the players on the Liverpool squad. Jürgen Klopp has renewed his contract with the English team until 2026, two more years than he had signed.

The renewal announcement comes at the best time, as Liverpool claimed an important 2-0 win against Villarreal in the Champions League semi-final first leg. If he progressed to the round, it would be the third time in a final of the most important European club tournament since Klopp arrived on the English bench in 2015.

With the Anfield team, Klopp has won a Premier League, the first in the last 30 years of the club’s history, a League Cup, a European Super Cup, a Club World Cup and the sixth European Cup for Liverpool.

Also, this season, he is on his way to achieving what no one else has achieved in the history of English football, title poker.

Liverpool already has the League Cup in its pocket, won against Chelsea, is in the FA Cup final, also against the ‘Blues’, one step away from the Champions League final, which will be played on 28 May in Paris, already one point behind Manchester City in the Premier League with five games to go.

Individually, Klopp won The Best award in 2019 and 2020, awarded by FIFA, for best coach. The German, who had previously managed Mainz and Borussia Dortmund, arrived at Liverpool in 2015, guiding the team to the Europa League final in his first season, where he lost against Unai Emery’s Sevilla.

“There are many words I could use to describe how I feel… Delighted, humbled, blessed, privileged and excited would be a good way to start”Klopp said in the official statement of the renewal.
