“I love our club. I hope we will all enjoy our time together,” said the 54-year-old in a video released by the club. Klopp ruled out an extension just a few weeks ago. “My plan is that I will stay until 2024, and then it will be: thank you very much!” he said at the time.
Now he justifies the step with a wink with his wife’s wish. “Ulla wants to stay. And what does a good husband do when his wife wants to stay? He stays, but that’s not the only reason,” said Klopp.
