After just nine months in the job, Jurgen Klopp is set to be offered a new long-term deal with the club.
According to the Echo, our board have been “blown away” with the progress made and are keen to get Klopp to commit his long-term future to Liverpool.
Klopp’s current contract runs until the summer of 2018 with the option of a further 12 months – but FSG’s president Mike Gordon has now opened talks over extending that deal.
The Echo reports that Klopp’s assistant coaches Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz will also be given new contracts.
