Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been one of the Premier League’s most successful managers in recent years, but last year his future was in doubt.
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has confirmed he will stay in the Premier League until his contract at Anfield expires in 2026.
The German has been active on Merseyside since 2015 and led the club to success for years. In recent years, the Reds have been one of the powerhouses of England and Europe, winning the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.
Last season was Klopp’s toughest season as Premier League manager, with his side finishing fifth in the table after ten shaky months.
This summer, he was linked with a possible return to Germany as the national team’s new head coach. Current boss Hansi Flick is currently under intense pressure after a run of four wins in his last 16 games and Klopp has been touted as a possible successor.
However, the Liverpool manager excluded himself from participating in Flick’s replacement. “The role of national coach is and would be a great honour, there’s no doubt about that,” he said.
“The issue standing in the way of the whole thing is my loyalty. I can’t leave Liverpool now and say I’m going to take over Germany for a short while.” It doesn’t work and the demand isn’t even there.
“If I’m supposed to at some point (lead Germany) then I have to be available and I’m not currently. I have a responsibility to the club,” he added during a Fischer group of companies roundtable.
“Deep down, it’s an interesting job. But I don’t know yet if I’ll do something completely different after leaving Liverpool. I want to keep my options open.
Klopp’s intention to stay in the Premier League until 2026 doesn’t bode well for the rest of the Premier League. Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have all fallen victim to Klopp’s Liverpool since his arrival.
Under the German, Liverpool are expected to continue their presence as one of England’s elite players. After a difficult year, many expect the Reds to challenge Manchester City for the title in May.

26-YEAR-OLD LIVERPOOL TARGET AGREED ON TERMS TO JOIN LEEDS UNITED
Leeds United are said to have agreed personal terms with Nat Phillips as they target the Liverpool defender.
Nat Phillips is a prime target for Leeds United this summer and a report suggests personal terms have been agreed.
This reports Last Word on Sports, which says Leeds have reached a preliminary agreement with Phillips.
If true, the next job is to finalize a fee with Liverpool and try to bring Phillips to Elland Road.
Leeds are inching closer to signing Ethan Ampadu, who can operate as both a central defender and defensive midfielder. However, we expect him to play the latter role and with Robin Koch’s move to Eintracht Frankfurt, Leeds need another centre-back.
Phillips appears to be the primary target and if his reps agree on personal terms, that would be a big step in the right direction.
Athletic reported on Leeds’ interest in Phillips in June and hinted that Liverpool were aiming for around £10million.
It would be a big outlay for Leeds, especially with Ampadu costing at least £7million, but new boss Daniel Farke needs to be backed up with signings.
Daniel Farke would surely support Nat Phillips move
The Athletic report also added that Farke was looking to sign Phillips during his tenure as Norwich City manager. That move never happened, but Farke would finally get the chance to work with Phillips in Leeds.
The whites want to return to the Premier League and a no-nonsense defender like Phillips could be ideal.
The 26-year-old was promoted from Championship side Bournemouth in 2022 and Leeds are hoping to see him do the same at Elland Road.
Phillips may not be flashy, but he’s performed admirably in recent years when he’s been called up to Liverpool.
A 6-foot 3-inch centre-back with great airpower and a desire to block and clear anything in his path, Phillips could help Leeds build a winning defensive line under Farke.
