OPINION
If ever the people of Liverpool needed a pick-me-up, it was today. The less said about last night’s election results the better, but at the very least, that hulking great cloud now has a glimmer of a silver lining for the Kop thanks to Friday’s reveal that Jurgen Klopp has extended his contract with the club until 2024. In a typically charming and charismatic video posted to the club’s official Twitter account, the German explains that he is sticking around for a while longer, and it’s fair to say that Liverpool fans were delighted. This is the man who has transformed their side from top six also rans into the most fearsome side in Europe. Champions of the continent and potentially champions of England in waiting, the German is maybe the most popular man on the whole of Merseyside right now, and having him commit his future to the Reds will no doubt have the vast majority of fans beside themselves with excitement. Liverpool now have the chance to build a proper legacy under Klopp, and he could genuinely go down in history as their greatest ever manager if he continues on his current trajectory.
