Klopp’s new contract at Anfield leads him until the summer of 2026. It is brilliant news for Liverpool, obviously. The club loves him, the fans love him, the players love him and the feeling goes both ways. Klopp is now synonymous with Liverpool Football Club. God help the poor turf that will eventually replace it. But it is an equally valuable asset for the Premier League. Klopp, as a coach, “deserves entry alone” – it’s worth spending half your salary on 27 different platforms to see him punch Kop, grimace like a gladiator who removes their last head, organizing those special nights in Anfield. He is the ticket manager for a cashier football team that plays box office football. And the Premier League smiles, caresses his cap and reaps the rewards. The top English league is no longer The Best League In The World simply because the English said it so often. It is now actually the best league in the world, because it has the best football teams. After a five-year hiatus without a representative in the Champions League final, if Manchester City and Liverpool maintain their lead in the semi-finals this season, seven of the last ten finalists will have come from this lush and pleasant country. The news of Klopp’s extension guarantees other years of supremacy. It is not just about Liverpool, but about the inability of those who want to compete to rest on their laurels. The bar of the Premier League is as high as ever, and given Liverpool’s brilliance on the pitch, where they overwhelm opponents and drown opponents to win game by game without giving up, and besides, where they have a great record to perfection. signatures, the ceiling may not be visible yet. It’s a scary thought for all the Premier League clubs, including Manchester City, who are by their side. The Premier League will want to bleed what has become a wonderful – albeit a little too respectful – rivalry for the four years that Klopp has committed now, at least. This is based on Pep Guardiola. Both City and Liverpool are great football teams with very talented players, but the reason they can keep up with each other is due to their coaches. Liverpool without Klopp would not be in this race for the title and the same goes for City without Guardiola. The City boss is set to enter the final year of his contract at the Etihad and will have spent seven seasons at the club until the summer of 2023. He has excellent players at his disposal, on a football team with excellent resources to continue to evolve and improve . But that alone may not be enough to extend his agreement. he is on the verge of leaving many times and this is comfortably the longest time he has left in a club. If anything will persuade him to stay, it may well be the promise of further great battles with his likeable enemy in Merseyside. Although this sounds like us mortals, these guys live for the stress of competition at the highest level, and there is not, and will be, a higher level as these two gentlemen continue to push each other. This is terrific news for catch-up players – 2026 is a long way off. Michel Arteta will be in the process of extending his “process”, Harry Kane will be 33 years old and will still be without a trophy at Tottenham (or Manchester United), Chelsea will consistently be a cup team that loses two finals this season and Wayne Rooney will oversee the overhaul at Old Trafford. With a move of his pen, Klopp protects the future of Liverpool, has consolidated the first place of the Premier League in the hierarchy of the European Championship for the predictable, and put us all except Manchester City, which will be *** us further.
