“I love this club. It’s the best place for me. I feel very lucky because six years ago FSG thought it would be a good idea to bring in a German guy, and here we are. there will be four more from now on. Wow! That’s a long time in football. I hope we can enjoy this time together,” he added.
It was expected that the captain would end his time at the club after the end of his current contract, valid until 2024. The German, who took over the team in 2015, would decide if he still had “energy” to continue the work.
However, the great season of the team, which disputes the title in all the competitions in which it participates, gave new gas to the commander and brought him closer to staying on the team.
the president of Fenway Sports Group (FSG), the American group that owns the club, Mike Gordon was present at Anfield in the 2-0 victory over Villarreal, in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals. The triumph forwarded the team’s classification to the big decision of the tournament.
Klopp’s agent and friend Marc Kosicke was also at the stadium and it is believed that there were talks to progress on a new deal with the coach.
This season, Liverpool have already won the League Cup and are in the FA Cup final, which will be decided against Chelsea. In addition, the team has taken a big step towards the continental decision and is just one point behind leaders Manchester City in the Premier League, with five games remaining to the end of the competition.
Jurgen Klopp joined the English club in 2015 and has since turned the team into a winning machine. There have been five achievements in the last seven years, being the League Cup this season, the Champions League, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup in 2019, and the Premier League in 2020.
