Liverpool is the big favorite to win the Champions League 2021/22, and on Wednesday, April 27, they took a giant step towards reaching the final by defeating Villarreal 2-0 at Anfield. In this context, on Thursday the 28th, the English club surprised their fans with some news.
It's about Jürgen Klopp. Through their social media, the Reds announced that the German has extended his contract with the British team for two more years; that is, he will stay until 2026. The 54-year-old coach has won five titles with Liverpool in the seven seasons he has been with them.
The German strategist arrived at Liverpool in 2015 from Borussia Dortmund, where he spent seven years and was runner-up in the Champions League. However, his best years have been in England, as he gave the Reds their first Premier League trophy in history and is about to give them another one.
