New Klopp deal does NOT include Liverpool pay-hike - but assistant coaches enjoy raise

Jurgen Klopp's new deal with Liverpool doesn't include a pay-rise - though his assistant coaches have seen their contracts improved.

Liverpool announced on Thursday that Klopp and his backroom team had signed two-year extensions.

The Athletic reports it was Klopp who instructed his agent Marc Kosicke to get in touch with Henry and from his initial call, it took only two weeks to finalise the paperwork.

They report that because Klopp wasn't asking for any additional money for himself, or indeed any changes to his current contract, the extension was quickly agreed.

His backroom team, however, stand to earn an additional £2million with Klopp reportedly especially keen to secure the future of first-team coach Pep Lijnders.

It is believed Klopp's extended contract contains no break clause but rather an informal understanding that he can say if he doesn't want to complete the final season.
