The former Liverpool manager states a return to manage Liverpool is plausible in theory.

Jurgen Klopp, who left Anfield in 2024, remarked that returning someday is an option. The 58-year-old, after a transformative near-decade reign featuring continental glory and ending the club's long wait since 1990, currently occupies roles in a global football capacity for Red Bull and as an advisor to Germany's league body.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

Liverpool won England's top flight last season, yet numerous supporters holding him in high esteem would embrace the notion of his potential comeback. Speaking candidly, he shared with his interviewer: “I stated I will never coach any other side in England. Which implies in case it's my former club...yeah. In theory, it could happen.”

“Being 58, that means the choice could be mine later on, I don’t know. Is a decision required immediately? If so, I wouldn't return. Luckily, no such pressure exists. I'll simply watch what lies ahead.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Questioned regarding what circumstances must arise to draw him back to the touchline, he confessed he isn't eager for a comeback. “I'm not entirely sure, I love what I do right now,” he stated. “I don't crave being a coach; I avoid standing under bad weather for two-and-a-half or three hours; I'm glad to skip media briefings repeatedly each week or doing numerous chats weekly.

“No nostalgia for the changing area in that context, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad having a nice chat, that’s nice. We won a lot of games so there was often great spirits in the building. I can still hear the captain's chuckle vividly recalled as an instance.”

Praise for His Successor

Klopp was full of praise regarding Arne Slot, crediting him for the adjustments that won the league last term. The team has suffered four in a row across various tournaments following significant transfers, but he rubbished the notion it could be the start of a downward turn.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker such as Wirtz, doubters will be silenced with negative comments. A remarkable prospect. [Hugo] Ekitike, superb talent. This is a well-built well-judged squad. No need for concern regarding the Reds, they will be fine.”

Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly about the death of Diogo Jota, a player he signed in 2020, along with the consequences for the team. The Portugal international was killed in a road accident alongside his brother in July.

“Can you substitute such an individual? It goes beyond his on-field talent, his personality mattered. It's hard to picture the squad absent his presence. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. A profound tragedy for the entire squad as well. No one within the club would cite it for poor performances yet it's the reality. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Coping with it emotionally is challenging. Impossible.”
