Liverpool have announced that German manager Jurgen Klopp had agreed an extension to his current deal to stay at the club until 2022.

The manager’s contract renewal adds another six years to his current contract extension which keeps him at Anfield until 2022.

The 49-year-old was appointed in October 2016, with his original contract taking him to 2018 with the option of another year.

Liverpool's American owners believe he has made a big impact at the club and decided to tie him down to a longer deal.

Klopp guided the club to the League Cup and the Europa League finals last season and 8th place in the Premier League. He arrived in England after winning two German league titles, and reaching the Champions League final, during his seven-year spell with Borussia Dortmund.
