Jurgen Klopp has described his new contract with Liverpool as being "like a penalty", and now he has to convert.
The Liverpool manager has proven a hugely popular appointment following the sacking of Brendan Rodgers last season, even if he was unable to salvage a European spot from a poor start to the season.
Klopp's side lost two finals last season, first a League Cup final and then a Europa League final, but the club was happy enough with the progress made under the former Borussia Dortmund coach they offered him a new six-year deal.
"I said to LFCTV that signing the new contract is a little bit like having a penalty – now we have to finish it. You cannot celebrate the penalty, you have to score the goal. That's what we have to do now," Klopp said after overseeing his side's first game of the pre-season - a 1-0 win over Tranmere Rovers on Friday.
"We really need to be successful, that's clear; we need to develop the club, we need to develop a lot of things."
