[Klopp2026] 紐卡素 對 利物浦 2

Klopp called his agent and asked him to contact John W Henry, the principal owner of Fenway Sports Group (FSG), to see whether he’d be interested in talking about extending his stay on Merseyside. From afar, FSG had been thinking about trying to convince Klopp to stay by beginning talks in the autumn as well but chose to give him space – wisely – because it did not want to distract him at a critical stage of the season. FSG was also concerned he might end up feeling pressurised and that might end up having a negative effect on his judgement.

In the end, everything happened on Klopp’s terms. Liverpool’s owners wanted to move quickly, especially when they realised he wasn’t asking about extra money for himself. Klopp’s contract has not changed – it has just been extended.
