The former Liverpool manager says coming back to manage Liverpool is conceivable.
Jurgen Klopp, who departed from Anfield in 2024, remarked that returning someday remains a possibility. Klopp, post a game-changing nine-season tenure featuring Champions League success and ending the club's long wait since 1990, currently occupies positions overseeing worldwide football within the Red Bull organization and in an advisory capacity to Germany's league body.
Fan Sentiment and Klopp’s Candid Remarks
Liverpool won the Premier League in the previous campaign, yet numerous supporters who revere Klopp would be thrilled by the idea that he might come back one day. During an extensive chat, he shared with the podcast host: “I said I won't manage another team in England. So that means in case it's my former club...yeah. It's plausible.”
“At 58 years old, so I might decide down the line, it's uncertain. Must I choose now? Then I will not coach again. Fortunately, it's not necessary. I'll simply watch what lies ahead.”
Conditions for a Comeback
When asked about which situations must arise to bring him back to the dugout, he revealed he feels no immediate pull for a comeback. “It's unclear to me, I enjoy my current role,” he commented. “I don't crave being a coach; I don’t miss standing under bad weather for two-and-a-half or three hours; I don’t miss going to interviews multiple times weekly or having 10-12 interviews each week.
“I don’t miss the dressing room as a dressing room, yet sharing a meal with the players talking freely, is pleasant. Success was frequent meaning regularly a very good mood in the building. I still have Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh in my ear to illustrate.”
Praise for His Successor
He commended for his successor, acknowledging his role for the tweaks that took the title in the previous season. Liverpool have lost four in a row in all competitions following significant transfers, though he denied the suggestion it could be a decline.
“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker like Florian Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if spoken against. An outstanding player. Ekitike, excellent performer. They have a strong well-judged squad. You don’t have to worry regarding the Reds, they'll bounce back.”
Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota
He shared movingly about the death of the Portuguese star, a player he signed in 2020, along with the consequences at the club. The Portugal international was killed in a car crash together with his sibling in July.
“How do you replace somebody like Diogo? This isn't just regarding the player himself, it’s the guy he was. It's hard to picture the dressing room missing him. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. It was an incredible shock for all the boys also. No one within the club will ever use it for poor performances though it's a fact. Entering the changing area where his spirit remains. Coping with it on a personal level is challenging. Impossible.”
