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

Jurgen Klopp, who stepped down from Liverpool in 2024, has suggested that rejoining the club remains something that could happen. The 58-year-old, post a game-changing nine-year spell that included continental glory and ending the club's long wait in 30 years, currently occupies positions in a global football capacity with the Red Bull group and providing guidance for the DFL.

Fan Sentiment and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

They secured England's top flight under Arne Slot, but many fans who adore the manager would welcome the idea that he might come back one day. In a wide-ranging interview, he explained to the podcast host: “I stated I will never coach a different club in England. Which implies if then it’s Liverpool...yes. Theoretically it’s possible.”

“At 58 years old, so the choice could be mine later on, I don’t know. Is a decision required immediately? Then I will not coach again. Luckily, I don’t have to do that. I can just see what the future brings.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Questioned regarding which situations must arise to bring him back to management, Klopp admitted he isn't eager to such a return. “I don’t even know exactly, I enjoy my current role,” he stated. “I don't crave being a coach; No desire to be under bad weather through long matches; I don’t miss going to press conferences multiple times weekly or doing numerous chats each week.

“The locker room isn't missed in that context, yet sharing a meal alongside the squad talking freely, that’s nice. We won a lot of games meaning regularly a very good mood around the place. I still have Van Dijk's laughter in my ear for example.”

Praise for His Successor

Klopp was full of praise for his successor, acknowledging his role for the adjustments that took the title last term. Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches in every contest following significant transfers, yet he dismissed the suggestion that it might signal the start of a downward turn.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker like Florian Wirtz, you will all eat your words with negative comments. He’s an incredible talent. Ekitike, excellent performer. It’s a really good balanced team. Fans shouldn't fret about Liverpool, they'll bounce back.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

Klopp also spoke emotionally about the death of the Portuguese star, a player he signed in 2020, and its impact on Liverpool. Jota lost his life in a vehicle collision with his brother this past summer.

“Who can fill the void of such an individual? It’s not about the player himself, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the dressing room absent his presence. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. A devastating blow for all the boys too. Not a single person might employ it to justify results but it is the situation. You walk in a dressing room which he filled completely. Coping with it on a personal level is not easy. Unbearable.”
