Jurgen Klopp says a return to coach Liverpool is plausible in theory.

Jurgen Klopp, who departed from Anfield in 2024, remarked that a future comeback is a possibility. The 58-year-old, post a game-changing nine-year spell which brought Champions League success and ending the club's long wait for three decades, currently occupies roles in a global football capacity with the Red Bull group and in an advisory capacity to Germany's league body.

Fan Sentiment and His Frank Comments

The club claimed the league title under Arne Slot, though countless followers holding him in high esteem would be thrilled by the notion that he may eventually return. Speaking candidly, he explained to his interviewer: “I stated I won't manage any other side within the country. Therefore should it be the Reds...yeah. In theory, it could happen.”

“At 58 years old, that means I could make the decision down the line, I don’t know. Must I choose now? Then I will not coach again. Luckily, no such pressure exists. I can just see what the future brings.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

When asked about which situations must arise to bring him back to the dugout, Klopp admitted he feels no immediate pull for a comeback. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “No longing for management; No desire to be in the rain for two-and-a-half or three hours; No need for interviews repeatedly each week or constant media duties each week.

“The locker room isn't missed as a dressing room, however, dining out with the team enjoying conversation, I appreciate that. Success was frequent thus frequently a very good mood at the club. Remaining with me is the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

Klopp was full of praise regarding Arne Slot, acknowledging his role for the tweaks that won the league last term. Liverpool have lost four in a row across various tournaments after a summer spending spree, yet he dismissed the notion it could be a slump.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker like Florian Wirtz, doubters will be silenced with negative comments. A remarkable prospect. The French striker, excellent performer. This is a well-built balanced team. You don’t have to worry over the club, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly about the death of Diogo Jota, a player he signed in 2020, and its impact on Liverpool. The forward died tragically in a car crash together with his sibling in July.

“Can you substitute a person like him? This isn't just regarding the player himself, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the team environment missing him. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. A devastating blow for the entire squad as well. Not a single person would cite it to justify results though it's a fact. Being in that space where his spirit remains. Dealing with that individually is difficult. Unbearable.”
