The former Liverpool manager states rejoining to coach Liverpool is plausible in theory.

Jurgen Klopp, who departed from Liverpool in 2024, has suggested that returning someday remains an option. Klopp, following a hugely successful near-decade reign that included a European Cup triumph and ending the club's long wait in 30 years, currently occupies positions overseeing worldwide football for Red Bull and in an advisory capacity to Germany's league body.

Fan Sentiment and His Frank Comments

Liverpool won the league title last season, but many fans who adore the manager would embrace the idea of his potential comeback. Speaking candidly, he explained to Steven Bartlett: “I said I refuse to lead a different club in England. So that means if then it’s Liverpool...yeah. It's plausible.”

“Being 58, that means I could make the decision in a few years, I don’t know. Must I choose now? Then I will not coach again. But thank God, no such pressure exists. I'll simply watch what the future brings.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

When asked about which situations would have to unfold to draw him back to the touchline, he confessed he was not instantly drawn toward coming back. “It's unclear to me, My present work fulfills me,” he stated. “I don't crave being a coach; I don’t miss standing under bad weather through long matches; I don’t miss going to press conferences four times, three times a week or having 10-12 interviews weekly.

“I don’t miss the dressing room per se, however, dining out alongside the squad talking freely, that’s nice. Success was frequent meaning regularly great spirits at the club. I still have the captain's chuckle vividly recalled to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

He commended of the current boss, crediting him for the adjustments that took the title last term. They've been defeated a string of losses in every contest after a summer spending spree, though he denied the suggestion it could be a decline.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker such as Wirtz, you will all eat your words if you use the wrong words. He’s an incredible talent. [Hugo] Ekitike, excellent performer. It’s a really good balanced team. Fans shouldn't fret about Liverpool, things will improve.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

The manager expressed deep feeling about the death of Diogo Jota, a player he signed in 2020, and its impact for the team. The Portugal international was killed in a road accident together with his sibling recently.

“Can you substitute such an individual? It’s not about his footballing ability, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the dressing room absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss on this topic. A profound tragedy for his teammates also. Not a single person would cite it to justify results though it's a fact. Being in that space which he filled completely. Dealing with that on a personal level is challenging. Unbearable.”
