‘Nobody wants to think of the day’ Jurgen Klopp leaves Anfield

Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has admitted he doesn’t want to think about the prospect of Jurgen Klopp leaving the club one day, while he thanked the German’s wife Ulla for helping convince him to sign a new contract.

Klopp had long stated that he would run down his previous deal at Anfield which ran until 2024 before deciding his next move, hinting that it may prove an opportune time to step down.

But the former Borussia Dortmund coach signed a new contract running until 2026 at the end of April, admitting that a conversation with his partner helped him realise that he wanted to stay on Merseyside for the considerable future.

And in a recent interview, Reds chairman Werner thanked Ulla for her contribution and admitted he doesn’t want to envisage a world where Klopp isn’t in charge at Anfield.

“I want to give some credit to Ulla. She was very helpful in suggesting to Jurgen that he should extend his tenure at Liverpool,” Werner said.
