The former Liverpool manager says coming back to lead Liverpool is conceivable.

Jurgen Klopp, who departed from Anfield in 2024, has suggested that rejoining the club is a possibility. Klopp, post a game-changing nine-year spell which brought a European Cup triumph and the Premier League crown in 30 years, currently occupies positions overseeing worldwide football with the Red Bull group and in an advisory capacity to Germany's league body.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

They secured the league title in the previous campaign, but many fans who revere Klopp would be thrilled by the idea that he might come back one day. During an extensive chat, he shared with his interviewer: “I declared I won't manage another team on English soil. So that means should it be the Reds...yes. It's plausible.”

“I’m 58, which suggests I could make the decision down the line, who knows. Must I choose now? In that case, I'd stay away. Luckily, I don’t have to do that. I'll wait and observe what the future brings.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about which situations would need to occur to draw him back to the dugout, Klopp admitted he isn't eager for a comeback. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “No longing for management; I avoid standing in the rain for lengthy sessions; I don’t miss going to press conferences four times, three times a week or having 10-12 interviews each week.

“The locker room isn't missed per se, however, dining out with the team talking freely, that’s nice. Success was frequent so there was often a very good mood at the club. Remaining with me is the captain's chuckle in my ear as an instance.”

Praise for His Successor

He commended regarding Arne Slot, crediting him for the adjustments that won the league last term. The team has suffered four consecutive matches in every contest following significant transfers, yet he dismissed the suggestion that it might signal a slump.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, critics will regret if spoken against. A remarkable prospect. [Hugo] Ekitike, superb talent. It’s a really good balanced team. You don’t have to worry regarding the Reds, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

Klopp also spoke emotionally regarding the passing of Jota, a player he signed while in charge, and its impact for the team. The forward lost his life in a vehicle collision together with his sibling in July.

“Who can fill the void of such an individual? It’s not about his on-field talent, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the squad without him in it. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. It was an incredible shock for the entire squad too. Nobody at Liverpool will ever use it as an excuse yet it's the reality. Being in that space where he was omnipresent. Handling this on a personal level is difficult. Impossible.”
