The former Liverpool manager says rejoining to manage Liverpool is plausible in theory.

The German coach, who departed from Liverpool in 2024, remarked that a future comeback remains a possibility. The 58-year-old, post a game-changing nine-year spell which brought continental glory and the Premier League crown since 1990, currently occupies roles in a global football capacity with the Red Bull group and as an advisor to Germany's league body.

Supporters’ Hopes and His Frank Comments

The club claimed England's top flight under Arne Slot, yet numerous supporters holding him in high esteem would welcome the notion of his potential comeback. Speaking candidly, he explained to Steven Bartlett: “I stated I won't manage another team within the country. So that means if then it’s Liverpool...absolutely. It's plausible.”

“I’m 58, which suggests I could make the decision in a few years, I don’t know. Must I choose now? If so, I wouldn't return. But thank God, I don’t have to do that. I can just see how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about what circumstances must arise to draw him back to management, he confessed he isn't eager toward coming back. “I don’t even know exactly, My present work fulfills me,” he stated. “No longing for management; I avoid standing during downpours through long matches; I'm glad to skip media briefings four times, three times a week or having 10-12 interviews weekly.

“No nostalgia for the changing area as a dressing room, but sitting in a restaurant with the players enjoying conversation, is pleasant. With many victories meaning regularly positive atmosphere in the building. I can still hear the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears as an instance.”

Praise for His Successor

He spoke highly for his successor, acknowledging his role due to the changes which secured the championship in the previous season. The team has suffered a string of losses across various tournaments after a summer spending spree, though he denied the notion that it might signal a slump.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward in Flo[rian] Wirtz, you will all eat your words if you use the wrong words. A remarkable prospect. The French striker, incredible player. It’s a really good thoughtfully assembled roster. Fans shouldn't fret about Liverpool, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

Klopp also spoke emotionally about the death of Jota, a 2020 acquisition during his tenure, and the effect for the team. Jota lost his life in a car crash together with his sibling in July.

“Who can fill the void of such an individual? It goes beyond his on-field talent, his personality mattered. I can’t imagine the dressing room without him in it. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. A devastating blow for the entire squad as well. No one within the club would cite it to justify results yet it's the reality. Entering the changing area which he filled completely. Coping with it emotionally is difficult. Overwhelming.”
