Liverpool chairman Tom Werner has revealed Jurgen Klopp's wife was a key factor in extending the manager's contract.
It had been Klopp's intention to leave Anfield when his most recent deal, which was scheduled to run until June 2024, expired but the German made a huge U-turn.
The former Borussia Dortmund boss agreed to extend his stay at Anfield by signing a new four-year contract, which runs until the summer of 2026.
Werner insists the Reds must give huge credit to Klopp's wife Ulla for getting the new contract signed while he admits 'nobody wants to think about the day he leaves' as he looks to set to become the long-serving manager since Bill Shankly, who was in charge from 1959 to 1974.
