Brendan Rodgers has signed a new long-term contract with Liverpool, the club have confirmed. Rodgers, who was widely praised for leading the Reds to the brink of a
first league title in 24 years last season, had been due to enter the
final year of his contract this summer.
But the northern Irishman revealed that he would hold talks with the
club over an extension at the end of the campaign and Liverpool have
moved swiftly to tie him down for the long term.
“I am both humbled and privileged to be offered the chance to extend
my stay at this great club. I am very happy to build on the foundations
we have built over the last two years and now we move onto the next
phase which I believe will be as exciting, challenging and rewarding,”
Rodgers told the club’s official website.
“I would like to place on record my thanks to the players and staff,
who have been absolutely brilliant for me since the day I started at
this great football club. I am grateful to our owners and senior
management team who have supported me and who share my vision of how we
can progress on the field.
“Finally, I must thank the supporters who are at the heart of
everything we do here. I am honoured every day to lead this team and I
thank the fans for their continued support as together we strive to
bring success back to Liverpool Football Club.”
Liverpool owner John W. Henry and chairman Tom Werner added: “We are
very fortunate to have a hugely talented individual leading our football
performance and in whom we place our trust to deliver the vision we
share for Liverpool Football Club.
