Liverpool pool manager Jurgen Klopp has extended his contract at Anfield until the summer of 2024 according to BBC Sport.
The German guided Liverpool to win their sixth Champions League title last season and currently puts them on top of the league this season.
The Reds are eight point ahead of Leicester City and 14 ahead of Manchester City.
While commenting on the club’s website, the 52-year-old German tactician said :
“This club is in such a good place, I couldn’t contemplate leaving”.
“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.”
It will be recalled that Liverpool lost only one match last season, and finished second behind City with 97 points.
