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

The German coach, who stepped down from Liverpool in 2024, has suggested that returning someday is an option. The 58-year-old, post a game-changing nine-season tenure featuring a European Cup triumph and the Reds’ first league title in 30 years, currently occupies positions overseeing worldwide football with the Red Bull group and as an advisor to Germany's league body.

Supporters’ Hopes and His Frank Comments

The club claimed the Premier League in the previous campaign, though countless followers holding him in high esteem would welcome the possibility that he might come back one day. During an extensive chat, he told his interviewer: “I stated I will never coach another team within the country. Therefore if then it’s Liverpool...yes. Theoretically it’s possible.”

“Being 58, which suggests I might decide down the line, who knows. Do I have to make the decision today? Then I will not coach again. But thank God, it's not necessary. I'll simply watch how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about the specific conditions must arise to bring him back to the dugout, Klopp admitted he was not instantly drawn to such a return. “I don’t even know exactly, I love what I do right now,” he stated. “I don’t miss coaching; I don’t miss standing under bad weather through long matches; No need for interviews multiple times weekly or doing numerous chats a week.

“No nostalgia for the changing area as a dressing room, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad having a nice chat, that’s nice. We won a lot of games thus frequently positive atmosphere around the place. I can still hear Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh vividly recalled for example.”

Commending Arne Slot

He spoke highly regarding Arne Slot, crediting him for the adjustments which secured the championship in the previous season. Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches in every contest following significant transfers, though he denied the suggestion that it might signal a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker such as Wirtz, critics will regret with negative comments. An outstanding player. [Hugo] Ekitike, incredible player. It’s a really good well-judged squad. You don’t have to worry about Liverpool, things will improve.”

Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly regarding the passing of the Portuguese star, whom he brought in in 2020, and its impact on Liverpool. Jota died tragically in a road accident with his brother this past summer.

“How do you replace such an individual? This isn't just regarding his footballing ability, his personality mattered. I can’t imagine the team environment without him in it. I find it difficult to discuss regarding this. A profound tragedy for the entire squad as well. Not a single person will ever use it for poor performances but it is the situation. Being in that space which he filled completely. Dealing with that emotionally is challenging. Overwhelming.”
