PREMIER LEAGUE: Klopp agrees three-year Liverpool contract

Jurgen Klopp today agreed a three-year deal to become Liverpool manager.

The 48-year-old German replaces Brendan Rodgers, who was sacked on Sunday after three and a half years in charge with the club 10th in the Premier League.

Klopp has been out of work since May, when he ended a seven-year spell at Borussia Dortmund to take a 'sabbatical'.

He is expected to bring in Zeljko Buvac and Peter Krawietz - his former assistants at the Bundesliga club - as part of his coaching staff at Anfield.
