The former Liverpool manager says rejoining to lead Liverpool is conceivable.

The German coach, who left Anfield in 2024, remarked that a future comeback remains something that could happen. The 58-year-old, after a transformative nine-season tenure that included a European Cup triumph and the Premier League crown since 1990, currently occupies roles as head of global soccer within the Red Bull organization and in an advisory capacity with the German Football League.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

Liverpool won the league title under Arne Slot, but many fans holding him in high esteem would be thrilled by the notion that he may eventually return. Speaking candidly, he told Steven Bartlett: “I stated I refuse to lead any other side within the country. So that means if then it’s Liverpool...absolutely. It's plausible.”

“At 58 years old, which suggests I could make the decision later on, I don’t know. Is a decision required immediately? If so, I wouldn't return. But thank God, I don’t have to do that. I'll simply watch how things unfold.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Questioned regarding which situations must arise to tempt his return to the dugout, he confessed he feels no immediate pull to such a return. “It's unclear to me, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “I don’t miss coaching; I don’t miss standing in the rain through long matches; I don’t miss going to press conferences four times, three times a week or doing numerous chats each week.

“No nostalgia for the changing area as a dressing room, but sitting in a restaurant with the players having a nice chat, is pleasant. We won a lot of games so there was often great spirits around the place. I still have Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh vividly recalled for example.”

Praise for His Successor

He commended for his successor, praising him for the adjustments that won the league last term. They've been defeated a string of losses in every contest after a summer spending spree, though he denied the suggestion that it might signal a slump.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward like Florian Wirtz, doubters will be silenced with negative comments. An outstanding player. The French striker, excellent performer. This is a well-built thoughtfully assembled roster. Fans shouldn't fret over the club, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

The manager expressed deep feeling regarding the passing of the Portuguese star, a 2020 acquisition during his tenure, along with the consequences on Liverpool. Jota lost his life in a road accident together with his sibling recently.

“How do you replace somebody like Diogo? It goes beyond his footballing ability, his personality mattered. It's hard to picture the team environment without him in it. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. A devastating blow for his teammates also. Not a single person might employ it as an excuse but it is the situation. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Dealing with that emotionally is not easy. Impossible.”
