The former Liverpool manager says a return to coach Liverpool is theoretically possible.

Jurgen Klopp, who departed from Liverpool in 2024, has suggested that returning someday remains an option. The 58-year-old, following a hugely successful nine-season tenure which brought continental glory and the Reds’ first league title since 1990, has since taken on roles as head of global soccer for Red Bull and providing guidance for the DFL.

Fan Sentiment and His Frank Comments

The club claimed the league title in the previous campaign, though countless followers holding him in high esteem would be thrilled by the idea of his potential comeback. Speaking candidly, he explained to the podcast host: “I stated I won't manage another team within the country. Therefore if then it’s Liverpool...absolutely. Theoretically it’s possible.”

“Being 58, which suggests I might decide down the line, it's uncertain. Do I have to make the decision today? Then I will not coach again. Luckily, no such pressure exists. I'll wait and observe what lies ahead.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Pressed on which situations would need to occur to tempt his return to management, he revealed he isn't eager for a comeback. “I'm not entirely sure, My present work fulfills me,” he stated. “I don’t miss coaching; I avoid standing under bad weather for lengthy sessions; I don’t miss going to interviews repeatedly each week or constant media duties a week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room in that context, but sitting in a restaurant with the players enjoying conversation, that’s nice. We won a lot of games so there was often great spirits at the club. I can still hear Van Dijk's laughter in my ear to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

He spoke highly regarding Arne Slot, acknowledging his role for the adjustments which secured the championship last campaign. Liverpool have lost a string of losses across various tournaments post heavy investment, but he rubbished the suggestion of it representing a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward such as Wirtz, you will all eat your words with negative comments. A remarkable prospect. [Hugo] Ekitike, excellent performer. This is a well-built well-judged squad. You don’t have to worry over the club, things will improve.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

He shared movingly on the loss of Jota, a 2020 acquisition while in charge, and its impact on Liverpool. The forward lost his life in a road accident alongside his brother recently.

“Can you substitute somebody like Diogo? This isn't just regarding his footballing ability, his personality mattered. I can’t imagine the squad missing him. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. It was an incredible shock for the entire squad too. Not a single person will ever use it as an excuse though it's a fact. You walk in a dressing room which he filled completely. Coping with it on a personal level is difficult. Unbearable.”
