Klopp joined the Reds in 2015, meaning he will be just shy of a decade at the football club as he completes his final season.
In his time, he has secured one of the most successful periods of Liverpool’s history, and certainly their most successful in the Premier League era, winning their first-ever Premier League trophy in 2020.
He has also won the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Super Cup and Club World Cup at Liverpool. His time will be remembered for the rivalry he forged with Man City boss Pep Guardiola, competing season in and season out for the top of the table.
