Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has signed a new long-term contract with the Premier League runners-up.
Rodgers, who was appointed as Kenny Dalglish’s successor in 2012, has led the Reds back into the Champions League following a four-year absence.
“I am both humbled and privileged to be offered the chance to extend my stay at this great club,” said the 41-year-old Northern Irishman.
Liverpool finished two points behind champions Manchester City this season.
The 18-time English champions had been strong contenders to win their first top-flight title since 1990, before a 2-0 home defeat against Chelsea allowed City to take control.
Liverpool had been five points clear at the summit when they hosted Jose Mourinho’s side on 27 April, but the loss disrupted their momentum and City went on to win all their remaining games to finish top.
Despite their failure to clinch the title, former Swansea boss Rodgers was named the League Managers’ Association manager of the year.
