Jürgen Klopp & Sadio Mané To Join Nike
Oct 29, 2019, by Chris
It's been less than a week ago that Liverpool won the New Balance case. The Reds will be allowed to change suppliers from the 2020/21 season, as the London Commercial Court noted in its ruling on Friday. Now it is reported that both Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp and attacker Sadio Mané are also about to change suppliers - just as Liverpool from New Balance to Nike.

As the US sports magazine The Atheltic reported on Monday, Liverpool's switch to Nike is already a done deal, but may only be communicated next year with legal security.

Sadio Mane is currently wearing the New Balance Furon v5 football boots, while Jürgen Klopp is a brand ambassador of New Balance. Both Mane and Klopp the most famous in the football business wearing New Balance products.
Klopp has an exclusive contract with New Balance to dress the coach from head to toe. Mané himself, has so far relied on his shoes, but the contracts expire - as with Liverpool - on 31 May 2020.
The successful coach and his world-class player will join Virgil van Dijk, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Naby Keita, Alisson Becker and Xherdan Shaqiri, who have been Nike athletes for some time.
Nike To Release Jürgen Klopp Collection?
Almost every baseball cap, hoodie and sneaker from New Balance that Klopp wore on the sidelines since 2016 was a best seller. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the 52-year-old will even have his own Nike collection and in return will have several advertising appearances for the Swoosh.

The DFB has confirmed that the national team will wear an official remake of their iconic 1990 away kit for the encounter, which will also mark the official debut of new head coach Jürgen Klopp.
The shirt is an authentic reproduction released under Adidas' Bringback collection. It recreates the famous geometric zigzag chevron graphic in alternating shades of green that create a dynamic 3D effect across the torso.
