In an interview with the club's official website, Klopp said: âThere are so many words I could use to describe how I am feeling about this news⦠delighted, humbled, blessed, privileged and excited would be a start.
âThere is just so much to 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.
âLike 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 itâs why Iâve extended previously.
âThis one is different because of the length of time we have been together. I had to ask myself the question: Is it right for Liverpool that I stay longer?
âAlong with my two assistant managers, Pep Lijnders and Pete Krawietz, we came to the conclusion it was a âYes!â
âThere is a freshness about us as a club still and this energises me. For as long as I have been here, our owners have been unbelievably committed and energetic about this club and it is clear that right now this applies to our future as much as Iâve ever known.
âIn Billy Hogan and Julian Ward we have leaders throughout the club who are completely focused on renewal and refreshing so we can continue to compete at the very highest level.
âWe have managed to harness the best of what we have created already at the same time as injecting fresh impetus into our environment.
âThe new AXA Training Centre is a superb home for us and the fact that Anfield will grow even bigger soon with the Anfield Road development, I canât wait for that.
âWe are a club that is constantly moving in the right direction. We have a clear idea of what we want; we have a clear idea of how we try to achieve it. Thatâs always a great position to start from.
âWhen the owners brought the possibility to renew to me, I asked myself the question Iâve mused over publicly. Do I have the energy and vibe to give of myself again what this amazing place requires from the person in the managerâs office?
âI didnât need too long to answer in truth. The answer was very simple⦠Iâm in love with here and I feel fine!â
