The Reds have made huge
strides since the Northern Irishman replaced Kenny Dalglish in the Anfield hotseat in June 2012.
A hugely impressive
2013/14 campaign saw the club secure Champions League football for next season by finishing second in
the Premier League, losing out on the title to Manchester City by just two
points.
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."
