Liverpool Boss Extends Anfield Stay

Liverpool have confirmed manager Brendan Rodgers has signed a new long-term deal.

Rodgers helped secure the club’s return to the UEFA Champions League this season when they narrowly missed out on winning the Premier League.

Liverpool came within two points of their first title since 1990 and Rodgers attracted widespread praise for their entertaining style of play.

The length of Rodgers’ new deal was not specified and he said: “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.

“I am both humbled and privileged to be offered the chance to extend my stay at this great club.”

“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.”

Talk of the new contract began three months ago but Rodgers put any negotiations on hold, knowing the offer was there and he would accept it, in order to concentrate on the title run-in.
