The former Liverpool manager admits a return to manage Liverpool is theoretically possible.

Jurgen Klopp, who departed from Liverpool in 2024, has suggested that a future comeback is a possibility. The 58-year-old, following a hugely successful nine-season tenure that included a European Cup triumph and ending the club's long wait in 30 years, has since taken on positions as head of global soccer with the Red Bull group and in an advisory capacity to Germany's league body.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

The club claimed England's top flight last season, yet numerous supporters who adore the manager would embrace the idea of his potential comeback. In a wide-ranging interview, he told Steven Bartlett: “I said I will never coach any other side in England. Which implies if then it’s Liverpool...yes. It's plausible.”

“Being 58, which suggests I could make the decision later on, I don’t know. Must I choose now? Then I will not coach again. But thank God, no such pressure exists. I can just see what the future brings.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Pressed on which situations must arise to tempt his return to the touchline, he confessed he isn't eager for a comeback. “I'm not entirely sure, My present work fulfills me,” he stated. “I don't crave being a coach; I don’t miss standing during downpours for lengthy sessions; I'm glad to skip interviews repeatedly each week or doing numerous chats weekly.

“No nostalgia for the changing area as a dressing room, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad having a nice chat, I appreciate that. With many victories meaning regularly a very good mood around the place. Remaining with me is the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears to illustrate.”

Commending Arne Slot

Klopp was full of praise for his successor, acknowledging his role for the adjustments that won the league last term. The team has suffered four consecutive matches in every contest following significant transfers, though he denied the idea it could be a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, critics will regret if spoken against. A remarkable prospect. Ekitike, superb talent. This is a well-built balanced team. You don’t have to worry over the club, they'll bounce back.”

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

The manager expressed deep feeling regarding the passing of Diogo Jota, a player he signed while in charge, and its impact on Liverpool. The forward lost his life in a vehicle collision with his brother this past summer.

“Who can fill the void of somebody like Diogo? It goes beyond the player himself, it's his character. I can’t imagine the squad missing him. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. It was an incredible shock for the entire squad also. No one within the club would cite it to justify results yet it's the reality. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Handling this individually is difficult. Unbearable.”
