ISTANBUL (AA) - German manager Jurgen Klopp has inked a new contract that will keep him at Liverpool until 2026, the English club announced on Thursday.

"We'll stay for another two, makes it four from now on. Wow. That's a long time in football," Klopp, whose last deal was set to expire in 2024, said after signing the contract.

"There are so many words I could use to describe how I am feeling about this news… delighted, humbled, blessed, privileged and excited would be a start," he added.

The Reds also said assistant coaches Pepijn Lijnders and Peter Krawietz have joined Klopp in inking new deals with the club.
