Today's announcement brings further stability to the club, securing
the services of one of the brightest managerial talents in the game
as Liverpool continues to develop its on-pitch performance.
Rodgers helped secure a return to Champions League football at the
end of a remarkable 2013-14 campaign, guiding the club to a second-place
finish in the Barclays Premier League.
Principal owner John Henry and chairman Tom Werner today jointly said:
"We are very fortunate to have a hugely talented individual leading
our football performance and in whom we place our trust to deliver
the vision we share for Liverpool Football Club.
"Brendan is at the heart of what we, as an ownership group, are trying
to achieve on the pitch. This season has reaffirmed everyone's belief
that we can bring football success to Liverpool and we are all committed
to working together to achieve that.
"Players and supporters have made it clear how important Brendan is to
our success and so to have him commit to us for the long term is a
great boost for everyone going forward."
Rodgers said: "I am both humbled and privileged to be offered the
chance to extend my stay at this great club. I am very happy to build on
the foundations we have built over the last two years and now we move
onto the next phase which I believe will be as exciting, challenging
and rewarding.
"I would like to place on record my thanks to the players and staff,
who have been absolutely brilliant for me since the day I started at
this great football club. I am grateful to our owners and senior
management team who have supported me and who share my vision of how
we can progress on the field.
"Finally, I must thank the supporters who are at the heart of
everything we do here. I am honoured every day to lead this team and
I thank the fans for their continued support as together we strive to
bring success back to Liverpool Football Club."
