The former Liverpool manager admits a return to manage Liverpool is theoretically possible.

The German coach, who stepped down from Anfield in 2024, has suggested that returning someday remains an option. Klopp, following a hugely successful near-decade reign featuring continental glory and ending the club's long wait in 30 years, currently occupies positions in a global football capacity for Red Bull and providing guidance with the German Football League.

Supporters’ Hopes and His Frank Comments

They secured the Premier League in the previous campaign, yet numerous supporters who adore the manager would be thrilled by the possibility that he might come back one day. In a wide-ranging interview, he shared with his interviewer: “I stated I won't manage any other side on English soil. Therefore should it be the Reds...yes. It's plausible.”

“At 58 years old, that means I might decide later on, it's uncertain. Is a decision required immediately? In that case, I'd stay away. But thank God, it's not necessary. I'll wait and observe what the future brings.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about the specific conditions must arise to tempt his return to the touchline, he confessed he was not instantly drawn toward coming back. “I'm not entirely sure, I love what I do right now,” he stated. “I don’t miss coaching; No desire to be in the rain for two-and-a-half or three hours; I don’t miss going to press conferences repeatedly each week or doing numerous chats each week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room as a dressing room, however, dining out alongside the squad enjoying conversation, is pleasant. Success was frequent so there was often a very good mood around the place. Remaining with me is Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh vividly recalled as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

He spoke highly regarding Arne Slot, praising him due to the changes which secured the championship in the previous season. The team has suffered four consecutive matches in every contest post heavy investment, yet he dismissed the suggestion that it might signal a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker like Florian Wirtz, you will all eat your words with negative comments. An outstanding player. The French striker, superb talent. They have a strong thoughtfully assembled roster. You don’t have to worry about Liverpool, they will be fine.”

Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly about the death of Diogo Jota, whom he brought in during his tenure, and its impact for the team. Jota died tragically in a road accident with his brother in July.

“How do you replace such an individual? It goes beyond the player himself, it's his character. It's hard to picture the team environment missing him. I find it difficult to discuss on this topic. It was an incredible shock for all the boys as well. No one within the club will ever use it to justify results but it is the situation. Being in that space where his spirit remains. Handling this on a personal level is difficult. Overwhelming.”
