Liverpool set to reward Jürgen Klopp with offer of improved contract
• Manager’s current six-year deal runs until 2022
• Players believe Madrid win can launch golden era



Liverpool want to extend Jürgen Klopp’s contract following the Champions League triumph his players believe heralds the beginning of a glittering era under their charismatic manager.

Klopp has three years remaining on the six-year, £7m per annum contract he signed during his first summer at Liverpool in 2016 but Fenway Sports Group will look to secure the man who has transformed the club’s fortunes and give him a longer deal. The 51-year-old German loves being the Liverpool manager and his family are happy on Merseyside. Rewarding him with an improved contract beyond 2022 is viewed as a priority by FSG as it seeks to build on a position of strength this summer.

Klopp has dismissed talk of a contract extension in recent months, insisting he is satisfied with and committed to a seven-year stay that would match his tenures at Borussia Dortmund and Mainz. Having secured the core of the Champions League winning squad on long-term deals, including Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino until 2023, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson until 2024, Liverpool’s owner wants to follow suit with the manager.

Victory over Tottenham in Madrid delivered the first trophy of Klopp’s Liverpool reign and Jordan Henderson said it will create the belief that Champions League victories, epic nights such as the Barcelona comeback and Premier League title challenges can become the norm at Anfield.

“It was an amazing feeling to know we had done it when the final whistle went,” said the fifth man to hoist the European Cup as Liverpool captain. “And then to lift the trophy was a special feeling that we will never forget. My dream as a kid was to win trophies. My best friend sent me a picture in the morning of me kissing a trophy when I was about 10 so that gave me even more motivation.

“It was nice to know we have come back from so many disappointments and finally got over the line and won a big trophy. Hopefully we can use this to win more. It gives us confidence to know we can win the Champions League and together we can move forward and win more trophies.”

Virgil van Dijk echoed the midfielder and claimed that, given the relatively young age of the Liverpool squad, the European champions can improve together over several years. “This is just the start,” the defender said. “It’s not like we’re going away. In July we start again. We’re going to try everything we can to be challenging for the title, challenging for the Champions League but also for the cups.

“We definitely want to have these nights more often but it’s not easy and the only thing to do is keep believing, keep working hard and stay humble. It’s a great age group of players. We have players here who can be playing for the next, hopefully, three to four years together at least.”

Van Dijk said Liverpool deserved a trophy for a season in which they pushed Manchester City to the brink in the Premier League and defeated Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich plus Barcelona en route to the final. He also admitted drawing inspiration from footage of the thousands of Liverpool supporters congregated in Madrid before kick-off.

Van Dijk said: “If we didn’t get anything this season we would definitely have been disappointed because of the way we played throughout the whole season. We deserved something. But to be able to win the Champions League, the biggest club competition in football, is something special. To write history for this group of players, the staff, all the fans, and everyone who was involved, is something to be proud of.

“It means a lot. It means a lot to all the fans. It makes you happy, even before the game to see all those fans in the square — 50,000 people, I think. Everyone has seen those videos before the game and you’re so excited. Normally I get a little sleep before a match but it was difficult. I was ready to go, ready to see my family, see all the fans and to come out for the warm-up, it was a special feeling. In the end to lift the trophy incredible.”

Footage of Henderson locked in an emotional embrace with his father following Liverpool’s victory went viral after the final. Brian Henderson was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2013 and asked his son not to visit while he was receiving treatment. He has since made a recovery.

The Liverpool captain reflected: “My dad has been through a lot over the past few years, not only with himself but with his family. He will have been so proud to see us win the game and win the Champions League. It will mean the world to him. I am just glad I can put a smile on his face.”

FSG表態願以長約挽留高普｜體嘢報道

《衛報》記者Andy Hunter及英國記者聯會（Press Association）報導，利物浦母公司FSG集團希望與領隊高普簽下長期合約。高普剛帶領紅軍奪取球會史上第6座歐聯錦標，他跟紅軍的合約在2022年才屆滿。與陣中球員完成續約工作之後，FSG打算以這份長期合約，換來紅軍今後的長治久安。

紅軍剛完成歐聯奪冠的祝捷巡遊。利物浦市議會表示，有75萬人參與是次盛會，沿途上他們無不歌頌高普和他麾下子弟兵的成就。與此同時，利物浦打算開出長期合約，讓高普（Jurgen Klopp）繼續肩負領導紅軍復興的使命。球會主席Tom Werner表示：「歐聯奪冠後，當球員把高普拋起，他們也確認了所有利物浦球迷知道的這一點——所有愛足球的人都愛高普。高普不只是一位優秀的教練，他還是一個謙虛的、體貼的人。他今天很開心，因為他知道昨天對我們的球迷的意義是甚麼。」

目前高普和紅軍的合約，年薪約值700萬鎊。而根據新合約，高普的年薪將加至1000萬鎊。早前有傳祖雲達斯打算向利物浦挖角，邀請這位德國名帥執教。除了老婦人，還有拜仁慕尼黑亦對高普虎視眈眈。拜仁名宿碧根鮑華在接受德國媒體《圖片報》的採訪時說：「高普給德國帶來了新的足球，快速的攻守轉換以及快速球員的壓迫。他在多蒙特所開始的打法，在利物浦更為精細。」

「我當然非常期望他未來能夠執教拜仁慕尼黑。他會非常合適，我覺得他是世界上最好的教練之一。」

我唔敢話高普係最好既領隊！


但佢一定係同利物浦最夾既領隊。無之一！

Jürgen Klopp has agreed a contract extension with #LFC until 2024. His commitment to the club is now the longest in his managerial career. Same length of deal for his assistants Peter Krawietz and Pep Lijnders.

Jürgen Klopp signs Liverpool contract extension to 2024
• Manager’s new deal is two-year extension
• ‘This is a statement of intent,’ Klopp says

Jürgen Klopp has agreed a new contract that will keep him at Liverpool until 2024 and make him the club’s longest-serving manager since Bob Paisley.

Liverpool’s owner, Fenway Sports Group, has been trying to extend Klopp’s deal since the end of last season when his transformation of the club yielded its sixth Champions League/European Cup triumph. The 52-year-old has spent seven years at each of his previous clubs – Mainz and Borussia Dortmund – and was set for a similar stay at Anfield with his £7m-a-year contract due to expire in 2022.

He has now agreed to the longest spell of his managerial career with Liverpool and will remain assisted by Peter Krawietz and Pepijn Lijnders, who have also agreed deals until 2024.

Klopp said: “For me personally this is a statement of intent, one which is built on my knowledge of what we as a partnership have achieved so far and what is still there for us to achieve. When I see the development of the club and the collaborative work that continues to take place, I feel my contribution can only grow.

“People see what happens on the pitch as a measure of our progress and although it is the best measure, it’s not the only measure. I have seen the commitment from ownership through to every aspect and function of the club you can think of.

“When the call came in autumn 2015, I felt we were perfect for each other; if anything, now I feel I underestimated that. It is only with a total belief that the collaboration remains totally complementary on both sides that I am able to make this commitment to 2024. If I didn’t I would not be re-signing.

“This club is in such a good place, I couldn’t contemplate leaving. I must also highlight the role of our sporting director, Michael Edwards, in this journey so far. His input and collaboration has been just as important as anyone else’s in getting us into a position to compete for the game’s top titles.”

Klopp said his extended deal would help when it came to signings. “With new players when you want to bring them in they ask: ‘How long is the manager going to be here?’” he said. “We all wanted to avoid that so it’s done and I am really happy about that.”

Liverpool boast a commanding eight-point lead in the Premier League as they pursue a first league championship in 30 years and will aim next week to land the club’s first Club World Cup. The European champions have also made substantial progress off the pitch too with plans unveiled recently to construct a new Anfield Road stand that, following the Main Stand redevelopment, would increase the stadium’s capacity to more than 61,000. A new £50m training complex in Kirkby is due for completion next summer.

Klopp hopes his finest achievements with Liverpool are yet to come. “The plan is to make it the best time of our life. It was not too bad till now but we don’t feel that it could not be better so let’s try to make the best time of our lives. Enjoy the ride, enjoy the journey.

Liverpool’s principal owner John Henry, chairman Tom Werner and FSG president Mike Gordon issued a joint statement to express their delight at Klopp’s willingness to extend his stay.

It read: “We feel this represents one of the big moments of our stewardship of Liverpool football club so far as we believe there is no better manager than Jürgen. The decision also keeps with the club’s overall strategy of building from a position of strength.”

They added: “Back in 2015 we used the phrase ‘ideal fit’ when we appointed Jürgen. This continues to apply today and, if anything, the circumstances make it more pertinent. We consider him to be the best there is. If Liverpool football club were looking to appoint the most outstanding, elite manager for our current status today, Jürgen would be the first choice – no question.”
