Jurgen Klopp agrees deal to become Liverpool manager

Liverpool’s owners Fenway Sports Group have moved swiftly and decisively to appoint the 48-year-old after sacking Brendan Rodgers following Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Everton.

Jurgen Klopp has agreed to become Liverpool’s new manager and will officially sign his contract when he flies into Merseyside on Thursday evening.

It is believed all negotiations have been completed with the former Borussia Dortmund boss and confirmation from the club is likely to follow later today.
