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

Jurgen Klopp, who left Liverpool in 2024, remarked that returning someday is something that could happen. The 58-year-old, following a hugely successful near-decade reign featuring Champions League success and ending the club's long wait for three decades, now holds positions in a global football capacity with the Red Bull group and in an advisory capacity with the German Football League.

Fan Sentiment and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

They secured the league title under Arne Slot, yet numerous supporters holding him in high esteem would be thrilled by the notion that he may eventually return. Speaking candidly, he told his interviewer: “I declared I refuse to lead any other side in England. Which implies should it be the Reds...yes. In theory, it could happen.”

“I’m 58, that means the choice could be mine in a few years, who knows. Is a decision required immediately? In that case, I'd stay away. Fortunately, it's not necessary. I'll simply watch how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about what circumstances must arise to draw him back to the touchline, he confessed he feels no immediate pull for a comeback. “It's unclear to me, I love what I do right now,” he commented. “I don't crave being a coach; I don’t miss standing under bad weather for two-and-a-half or three hours; I don’t miss going to media briefings multiple times weekly or having 10-12 interviews weekly.

“The locker room isn't missed in that context, however, dining out with the team enjoying conversation, is pleasant. Success was frequent thus frequently a very good mood at the club. I can still hear the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

Klopp was full of praise regarding Arne Slot, crediting him due to the changes that won the league in the previous season. They've been defeated four consecutive matches in every contest after a summer spending spree, though he denied the notion it could be the start of a downward turn.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker in Flo[rian] 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. You don’t have to worry regarding the Reds, they'll bounce back.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

Klopp also spoke emotionally about the death of Diogo Jota, a player he signed in 2020, along with the consequences at the club. Jota was killed in a car crash with his brother in July.

“Who can fill the void of a person like him? It goes beyond his on-field talent, it's his character. It's hard to picture the team environment absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss on this topic. A devastating blow for the entire squad too. No one within the club will ever use it as an excuse but it is the situation. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Handling this individually is challenging. Overwhelming.”
