Liverpools owners want Jurgen Klopp to build an Anfield dynasty after restoring the club to the pinnacle of European soccer and will seek to extend his contract following the clubs Champions League triumph.
Klopp joined the list of Kop immortals by securing Liverpools sixth European Cup, becoming the fourth Anfield manager to win the most coveted trophy in club soccer.
A city-wide party first postponed after the Europa League final in 2016, then cancelled after the defeat by Real Madrid last year and further delayed after they were pipped to the Premier League title by Manchester City, finally hit the town following the 2-0 victory over Tottenham in Madrid on Saturday night.
An estimated 500,000 people lined the streets as the open-top bus parade made its way to Liverpool Pier Head where a pyrotechnic show awaited players and fans.

I dont know exactly how many people live in Liverpool but theres not a lot of space for fans and supporters of other clubs, so its incredible, said Klopp.
This team is really doing so well and if you are a young kid which team would you support? There are not a lot of other options and opportunities apart from Liverpool so its really nice to see.

"You see in their eyes how much it means. Its unbelievable and its so intense. Today, wow. Its crazy.
I cannot really describe it because I cried a little bit as well because its so overwhelming what the people are doing. When you have a direct eye contact and you see how much it means to them thats touching to be honest.
"Its brilliant. Its really special.
The owners and directors of Fenway Sports Group were on a bus packed with players, backroom team members and executives, savouring the moment while planning ahead. The dream is not only for Liverpool to add to their honours, but for Klopp to dedicate the peak of his coaching career to build a new era of dominance.

There is no intention of seeing the win in Estadio Metropolitano as the pinnacle of his Liverpool reign. The prime target remains the Premier League title he was so close to securing this year.
Although Klopps deal has three years to run, owners FSG will seek to prolong their relationship with the manager they consider the best in the world – and certainly the most suited to the Merseyside club.
Alongside Pep Guardiola, the German coach is the most wanted in world soccer.
No vacancy at an elite club can arise without representatives tentatively sounding him out, several having been rebuffed already during his Liverpool reign. Bayern Munich, Juventus, Barcelona and even Real Madrid would recruit Klopp in a heartbeat given the chance, yet he has never offered a hint of encouragement as he pushes on with the Liverpool renaissance.
Now FSG believe the manager has found the club where he has the freedom, power and resources to compete for the biggest honours as much as Liverpools competitors.
That has been shown in the incremental improvement during his four years in charge, only the mega wealth of Manchester City standing in their way domestically.Read More – Source
