The former Liverpool manager admits coming back to manage Liverpool is plausible in theory.
Jurgen Klopp, who stepped down from Anfield in 2024, indicated that rejoining the club is something that could happen. The 58-year-old, following a hugely successful near-decade reign which brought a European Cup triumph and the Reds’ first league title in 30 years, currently occupies roles overseeing worldwide football with the Red Bull group and as an advisor to Germany's league body.
Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks
They secured the Premier League last season, though countless followers holding him in high esteem would be thrilled by the idea that he may eventually return. In a wide-ranging interview, he told his interviewer: “I declared I refuse to lead any other side in England. Therefore if then it’s Liverpool...absolutely. In theory, it could happen.”
“I’m 58, that means I could make the decision later on, I don’t know. Must I choose now? Then I will not coach again. But thank God, I don’t have to do that. I'll wait and observe what lies ahead.”
What Would Lure Him Back?
Questioned regarding the specific conditions would have to unfold to draw him back to the touchline, he confessed he isn't eager toward coming back. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “I don’t miss coaching; I don’t miss standing during downpours through long matches; No need for press conferences multiple times weekly or having 10-12 interviews a week.
“The locker room isn't missed per se, however, dining out alongside the squad having a nice chat, I appreciate that. We won a lot of games thus frequently positive atmosphere in the building. I still have Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh in my ear for example.”
Praise for His Successor
He commended for his successor, crediting him due to the changes that won the league in the previous season. The team has suffered a string of losses in every contest after a summer spending spree, yet he dismissed the suggestion that it might signal a slump.
“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker such as Wirtz, you will all eat your words if spoken against. A remarkable prospect. The French striker, excellent performer. It’s a really good thoughtfully assembled roster. Fans shouldn't fret over the club, things will improve.”
Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota
The manager expressed deep feeling about the death of Jota, a 2020 acquisition while in charge, along with the consequences at the club. The forward died tragically in a road accident alongside his brother this past summer.
“Can you substitute such an individual? It’s not about the player himself, it's his character. I can’t imagine the team environment without him in it. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. A profound tragedy for his teammates too. No one within the club might employ it as an excuse yet it's the reality. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Handling this individually is not easy. Impossible.”
