Jurgen Klopp reveals how his wife helped him decide to agree to new Liverpool contract

"If, when I said around the last contract extension, that in 2024 that's it then, it was actually a private agreement and the most important contract in my life I signed is the one with [my wife] Ulla. That's where it started again," Jurgen Klopp told the official Liverpool website.

"We sat in the kitchen at the table and Ulla said, 'I can't see us leaving in 2024.' And I was like, 'What?!' 'No, really, [with] all the people about.'

"You won't know Lisa, but she is very important for us, it's about Danielle, it's about so many people. That's the first moment and then, of course, it's about the club and all the people I don't know personally but I know as well, so that's how it all started."

Several months ago, Klopp revealed that he had promised his family to take a sabbatical after his time at Liverpool ends.

That's why when his wife agreed to stay on Merseyside beyond 2024, it was a very massive boost for Liverpool's chances to keep one of their best managers ever for a few more years.
