Jurgen
Klopp's has confessed that his wife's desire to remain🌈 in Liverpool was a major factor
in his decision to extend his Anfield contract.
The German announced that he had penned
🌈 a fresh deal that will keep him and his partner, Ulla Sandrock, in Merseyside until
2026. Originally Klopp was due🌈 to leave his role with the Reds in 2024 but talks have
quickly been held and both parties are happy🌈 to remain working together for an extra
two years.
Klopp moved to Liverpool in 2024 with Sandrock, whom he married in🌈 2005. The
pair met at Oktoberfest in Munich and the Reds boss joked that he was being a "good
husband"🌈 by honouring his wife's desire to remain in the north west as he confirmed his
news on social media.

He said
on Liverpool's Twitter : "There’s something to announce. Like last time some will like
🌈 it, some will not like it too much. If you don’t like it, stop watching now. I stay for
another🌈 two years… and only me. No, all my coaches will as well, which is the most
important actually. Why? Is🌈 now the question. Because Ulla wants to stay and as a good
husband what are you doing when your wife🌈 wants to stay? You are staying."
Klopp went
on to add: "The most important contract I signed in my life was🌈 the one with Ulla. And
that's why it start again, because actually we sat at the kitchen table and Ulla🌈 said
'I can't see us leaving in 2024'. I said 'what?'. That's how it all started and when
that started🌈 I thought 'let's have a think'.
"When I thought about it it was clear that
I needed to have one more🌈 really important conversation, that's the one with Pep
Lijnders, because he is probably the main reason for it, and our🌈 connection is beyond
football things. When he said 'oh yes, I'm in' then it was clear that we are open🌈 for
any kind of talks, and that's why we're sitting here now."

The German said upon signing his new deal: “There are so
many words I could use to🌈 describe how I am feeling about this news… delighted,

love about this place. I knew that before I came here, I got to know it🌈 even better
after I arrived and now I know it more than ever before.

“Like any healthy relationship, it always has to be a
two-way street; you have to be right for each🌈 other. The feeling we were absolutely
right for each other is what brought me here in the first place and🌈 it’s why I’ve
extended previously."
