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

The German coach, who departed from Anfield in 2024, remarked that returning someday is an option. Klopp, post a game-changing nine-year spell which brought Champions League success and ending the club's long wait in 30 years, now holds positions overseeing worldwide football with the Red Bull group and providing guidance with the German Football League.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

Liverpool won England's top flight under Arne Slot, but many fans who adore the manager would be thrilled by the notion that he might come back one day. During an extensive chat, he told the podcast host: “I stated I refuse to lead another team in England. So that means should it be the Reds...yeah. In theory, it could happen.”

“Being 58, so I might decide in a few years, who knows. Do I have to make the decision today? If so, I wouldn't return. Luckily, no such pressure exists. I'll simply watch what the future brings.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Pressed on the specific conditions would need to occur to draw him back to the dugout, he revealed he isn't eager to such a return. “I don’t even know exactly, I love what I do right now,” he commented. “I don’t miss coaching; I don’t miss standing during downpours for lengthy sessions; No need for media briefings four times, three times a week or constant media duties weekly.

“The locker room isn't missed in that context, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad talking freely, is pleasant. We won a lot of games thus frequently a very good mood at the club. I still have Van Dijk's laughter in my ear for example.”

Praise for His Successor

He commended of the current boss, acknowledging his role for the tweaks that took the title last term. The team has suffered a string of losses in every contest following significant transfers, yet he dismissed the idea it could be a decline.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, critics will regret if spoken against. An outstanding player. The French striker, excellent performer. They have a strong thoughtfully assembled roster. Fans shouldn't fret about Liverpool, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

He shared movingly on the loss of the Portuguese star, whom he brought in in 2020, and its impact on Liverpool. The forward was killed in a vehicle collision with his brother in July.

“How do you replace such an individual? It’s not about his footballing ability, it's his character. I struggle to conceive the squad without him in it. I find it difficult to discuss regarding this. It was an incredible shock for the entire squad as well. Not a single person will ever use it as an excuse though it's a fact. Entering the changing area which he filled completely. Dealing with that on a personal level is not easy. Impossible.”
