The former Liverpool manager states rejoining to manage Liverpool is theoretically possible.

Jurgen Klopp, who stepped down from Anfield in 2024, remarked that a future comeback remains a possibility. The 58-year-old, after a transformative nine-year spell which brought continental glory and the Reds’ first league title for three decades, now holds roles overseeing worldwide football within the Red Bull organization and as an advisor to Germany's league body.

Fan Sentiment and His Frank Comments

The club claimed England's top flight under Arne Slot, though countless followers holding him in high esteem would embrace the idea of his potential comeback. During an extensive chat, he shared with the podcast host: “I declared I will never coach any other side on English soil. Which implies if then it’s Liverpool...absolutely. It's plausible.”

“Being 58, so the choice could be mine down the line, who knows. Do I have to make the decision today? In that case, I'd stay away. Fortunately, it's not necessary. I'll wait and observe what the future brings.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Questioned regarding the specific conditions must arise to draw him back to management, he confessed he feels no immediate pull for a comeback. “I don’t even know exactly, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “No longing for management; No desire to be under bad weather for lengthy sessions; I don’t miss going to interviews four times, three times a week or doing numerous chats weekly.

“I don’t miss the dressing room per se, however, dining out with the team talking freely, is pleasant. With many victories meaning regularly positive atmosphere at the club. I can still hear the captain's chuckle vividly recalled for example.”

Commending Arne Slot

Klopp was full of praise of the current boss, crediting him due to the changes that won the league in the previous season. The team has suffered a string of losses in all competitions after a summer spending spree, though he denied the idea of it representing the start of a downward turn.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward in Flo[rian] Wirtz, critics will regret if spoken against. He’s an incredible talent. The French striker, incredible player. They have a strong well-judged squad. You don’t have to worry over the club, things will improve.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

Klopp also spoke emotionally about the death of the Portuguese star, a 2020 acquisition while in charge, and its impact on Liverpool. The forward died tragically in a road accident with his brother in July.

“Can you substitute somebody like Diogo? It goes beyond his on-field talent, his personality mattered. I can’t imagine the dressing room absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss regarding this. It was an incredible shock for all the boys too. Nobody at Liverpool might employ it for poor performances though it's a fact. You walk in a dressing room which he filled completely. Dealing with that emotionally is challenging. Overwhelming.”
