Jurgen Klopp says a return to lead Liverpool is theoretically possible.

Jurgen Klopp, who departed from Anfield in 2024, indicated that rejoining the club remains something that could happen. The 58-year-old, following a hugely successful nine-year spell that included continental glory and the Reds’ first league title in 30 years, has since taken on positions in a global football capacity for Red Bull and in an advisory capacity for the DFL.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

The club claimed England's top flight in the previous campaign, though countless followers who revere Klopp would welcome the notion that he may eventually return. In a wide-ranging interview, he told the podcast host: “I said I will never coach any other side within the country. Which implies if then it’s Liverpool...yes. In theory, it could happen.”

“Being 58, that means I could make the decision in a few years, I don’t know. Is a decision required immediately? Then I will not coach again. But thank God, I don’t have to do that. I'll simply watch what lies ahead.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

When asked about the specific conditions must arise to draw him back to the touchline, he confessed he isn't eager for a comeback. “It's unclear to me, I enjoy my current role,” he commented. “I don't crave being a coach; No desire to be during downpours through long matches; I don’t miss going to media briefings repeatedly each week or having 10-12 interviews weekly.

“The locker room isn't missed per se, yet sharing a meal alongside the squad talking freely, is pleasant. Success was frequent thus frequently great spirits around the place. I can still hear Van Dijk's laughter vividly recalled as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

He commended of the current boss, crediting him for the adjustments which secured the championship last term. They've been defeated four consecutive matches in all competitions post heavy investment, yet he dismissed the suggestion it could be a decline.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker like Florian Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if spoken against. He’s an incredible talent. Ekitike, superb talent. They have a strong thoughtfully assembled roster. You don’t have to worry about Liverpool, things will improve.”

Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly about the death of Jota, whom he brought in during his tenure, and its impact on Liverpool. The Portugal international lost his life in a vehicle collision alongside his brother in July.

“Who can fill the void of a person like him? This isn't just regarding the player himself, it's his character. I can’t imagine the squad absent his presence. Putting it into words is tough on this topic. A devastating blow for the entire squad as well. Not a single person would cite it as an excuse though it's a fact. Being in that space where he was omnipresent. Handling this emotionally is difficult. Unbearable.”
