The former Liverpool manager admits coming back to coach Liverpool is plausible in theory.

Jurgen Klopp, who left Anfield in 2024, indicated that rejoining the club remains an option. Klopp, post a game-changing nine-year spell featuring Champions League success and ending the club's long wait in 30 years, now holds positions overseeing worldwide football with the Red Bull group and as an advisor with the German Football League.

Fan Sentiment and His Frank Comments

The club claimed the league title in the previous campaign, yet numerous supporters holding him in high esteem would embrace the idea that he might come back one day. During an extensive chat, he shared with the podcast host: “I stated I will never coach any other side within the country. So that means if then it’s Liverpool...absolutely. In theory, it could happen.”

“I’m 58, which suggests I might decide down the line, I don’t know. Do I have to make the decision today? In that case, I'd stay away. Luckily, it's not necessary. I'll wait and observe what the future brings.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Questioned regarding which situations must arise to draw him back to management, he revealed he isn't eager toward coming back. “It's unclear to me, I love what I do right now,” he stated. “I don't crave being a coach; I avoid standing in the rain for lengthy sessions; I don’t miss going to press conferences multiple times weekly or constant media duties weekly.

“I don’t miss the dressing room per se, however, dining out with the players having a nice chat, that’s nice. We won a lot of games so there was often positive atmosphere around the place. Remaining with me is the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

He commended of the current boss, crediting him due to the changes that took the title in the previous season. They've been defeated a string of losses in all competitions after a summer spending spree, though he denied the notion that it might signal a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker such as Wirtz, critics will regret if spoken against. A remarkable prospect. The French striker, excellent performer. It’s a really good thoughtfully assembled roster. No need for concern regarding the Reds, they will be fine.”

Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota

The manager expressed deep feeling regarding the passing of Diogo Jota, whom he brought in in 2020, along with the consequences at the club. The forward lost his life in a vehicle collision with his brother this past summer.

“Who can fill the void of a person like him? This isn't just regarding his on-field talent, it's his character. I can’t imagine the squad without him in it. I still cannot speak properly about it. It was an incredible shock for all the boys as well. Nobody at Liverpool might employ it for poor performances though it's a fact. Being in that space where he was omnipresent. Coping with it emotionally is difficult. Unbearable.”
