Liverpool`s Juergen Klopp was recognised for his side`s tilt at an unprecedented quadruple this season as he was named the League Managers Association (LMA) and Premier League Manager of the Year on Tuesday. 
Liverpool won the League Cup and FA Cup and will play Real Madrid in the Champions League final on Saturday. They came up just short in the Premier League title race, finishing a point behind champions Manchester City.

"It`s a great honour and it was an insane season," said Klopp. "The last matchday when only two games were meaningless and in the rest, we all played for absolutely everything. It was not the best outcome for us, but we are already over it." The 54-year-old German won the Premier League award after votes from the public were combined with those of an expert panel, while the LMA prize was voted for by the full membership of managers across all the divisions.

Liverpool boss Juergen Klopp bags Premier League and LMA Manager of the Year awards

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp&nbsp;said on Friday he could remain in charge of the Premier League club beyond the end of his current contract in 2024, provided he has the energy for it.

Klopp, who joined Liverpool in 2015, has helped the club win the Premier League and the Champions League, as well as the League Cup, which they claimed with a penalty shootout win over Chelsea last weekend.

Speaking to reporters earlier this week before Liverpool's 2-1 win over Norwich City in the FA Cup, the German had said he didn't know whether he would extend his contract with the Merseyside club.

When asked about his comments ahead of Liverpool's Premier League game against West Ham United, the 54-year-old said his decision depended on his "energy levels" and added that he could make a call at the last minute.

"I love what I do, but I've said it a couple of times -- there must be something else outside there in the world, to be honest," Klopp told a news conference.

"At the moment, I am full of energy but I have to make sure that's the case (in 2024).

"I don't want to sit around and be more often tired than not, then think, 'Wow, why is everyone bothered about the things out there? I couldn't care less'.

"My future will be okay. I don't have to plan, I could book last minute. Let me say it like this -- that's not a problem. No, the plan is the future of the club that we are constantly working on."

Liverpool have won their last 11 games in all competitions, and will be looking to close the gap on Manchester City to three points in the Premier League title race with a win against West Ham on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp could extend Liverpool contract beyond 2024 if he has 'energy'

Liverpool have the chance to exert some pressure on Premier League title favourites Manchester City on Saturday but manager Juergen Klopp says he does not waste one minute thinking about Pep Guardiola's side.

Victory over relegation battlers Norwich on Saturday would allow Liverpool to close the gap on City to six points, although City are at home later against struggling Tottenham Hotspur.

"Out of all the problems I have, the smallest one is Man City. There is no minute when I think about them," Klopp told reporters at his news conference on Friday.

Of more concern to Klopp is the ankle injury sustained by Diogo Jota during the 2-0 Champions League win away at Inter Milan on Wednesday.

"He is not available this week and still needs further assessment," Klopp said.

"It's something with the ligaments around the ankle. Everything is possible. It could go quick or the other way. We have to wait but no chance for this weekend."

Liverpool have won their last four games in the league and will be expected to sweep past a Norwich side who have given themselves a chance of surviving with a recent resurgence before last weekend's defeat by Manchester City.

Klopp said he respects the Norfolk side's philosophy.

"They never stop believing they can stay in the league. I admire that. You can see it in how they play. If you let them play, they play," Klopp said.

"If you give them a chance to get in behind your last line, they will go. We have to be everywhere 100%. We need a really good set-up."

While deprived of Jota on Saturday, Klopp still boasts a formidable array of firepower with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino all available and his biggest dilemma is who to leave on the bench.

He said the attitude of his players to not being in the starting lineup made his job easier.

"Be angry or disappointed with me, no problem. But show up. Make the decisions difficult and don't drop in training. But that's never happened. The group is incredible. If the players want to talk to me, it comes after the game," Klopp said.

He pointed to the response Roberto Firmino showed when coming off the bench to score the opener against Inter.

"Bobby could be in each eleven every single day because of his quality. It was one of the most important away goals we've scored. It calmed everything down and we got the momentum back," he said.

"If you knew him better, you'd be more positive about him. He`s an incredible person," Klopp said.

Out of all the problems I have, the smallest one is Man City, says Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool showed they are back as one of European football's powerhouses after dispatching <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/champions-league-liverpool-outplay-bayern-munich-to-reach-quarter-finals-203183">Bayern Munich 3-1 in the German champions' back yard</a> on Wednesday, manager Juergen Klopp said.

Liverpool, five-times European champions and last season's Champions League runners-up, eased past the Bavarians and into the quarter-finals with two goals from Sadio Mane and one from Virgil van Dijk after a goalless first leg at Anfield.

In a dominant performance, Liverpool shrugged off an early ankle injury to captain Jordan Henderson and kept their cool after Bayern's equaliser through Joel Matip's own goal late in the first half.

Liverpool then scored with headers from Van Dijk in the 69th minute and Mane in the 84th to book their spot in the last eight.

"It is an important (win) for different reasons. Important money-wise but also confidence-wise," Klopp told reporters.

"Liverpool's self-awareness now must be 'we are back. We are back on the landscape. Back in big football'.

"That was part of the plan when we started the project," Klopp said. "We still have space for improvement but beating Bayern here is a big one."

Liverpool, who have slipped behind Manchester City in the Premier League title race in recent weeks, had lost all their away games in the Champions League competition this season prior to Wednesday.

Yet their victory saw them join Manchester City and Manchester United as well as Tottenham Hotspur in the last eight while Germany will be without a quarter-finalist for the first time in 11 years.

"We scored a wonderful goal in the first half, outstanding," Klopp said. "We conceded one, but everyone could see it was possible (for us to win). The second half I was really happy by how mature the performance was, how strong we looked, how good we defended.

"It's a big step for us. We have set a mark that this wonderful club is really at the top of the landscape of European football."

"I am really proud of the boys because it is a massive achievement. We are on a good way and I like what the boys did tonight."

Liverpool are back on the big stage with Bayern Munich win, says Juergen Klopp

Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp says Jose Mourinho is an "outstanding manager" despite the Portuguese being sacked by Manchester United earlier on Tuesday.

Mourinho was shown the door at Old Trafford two-and-a-half years after joining the 20-time English champions, with United in sixth in the Premier League - 19 points adrift of Klopp's Liverpool at the top.

United's 3-1 defeat at Anfield on Sunday (December 16) was the final straw for the United board with the Red Devils having won only once in their last six league matches.

Klopp though heaped praise on the former Inter Milan, Chelsea, Porto and Real Madrid boss who has won 20 major trophies throughout his managerial career.

Klopp also reacted positively to Liverpool drawing Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16 draw on Monday (December 17).

Mourinho famously won the 2004 Champions League with Porto and repeated the feat with Inter six years later with a 2-0 victory over Bayern Munich.

The 55-year-old won two trophies in his first season with United - the Europa League and League Cup in the 2016/17 campaign.
