Jurgen Klopp admits rejoining to lead Liverpool is theoretically possible.

Jurgen Klopp, who left Anfield in 2024, has suggested that returning someday is something that could happen. Klopp, post a game-changing near-decade reign which brought a European Cup triumph and the Premier League crown for three decades, now holds positions overseeing worldwide football within the Red Bull organization and providing guidance for the DFL.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

The club claimed England's top flight under Arne Slot, yet numerous supporters who adore the manager would embrace the idea of his potential comeback. During an extensive chat, he told the podcast host: “I declared I won't manage any other side on English soil. So that means if then it’s Liverpool...yes. In theory, it could happen.”

“At 58 years old, which suggests the choice could be mine later on, who knows. Do I have to make the decision today? Then I will not coach again. But thank God, no such pressure exists. I'll simply watch what lies ahead.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about what circumstances would need to occur to bring him back to management, he confessed he isn't eager toward coming back. “I don’t even know exactly, I love what I do right now,” he said. “No longing for management; No desire to be in the rain through long matches; I don’t miss going to media briefings multiple times weekly or having 10-12 interviews each week.

“No nostalgia for the changing area as a dressing room, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad enjoying conversation, is pleasant. With many victories so there was often positive atmosphere around the place. Remaining with me is Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh in my ear for example.”

Praise for His Successor

He spoke highly of the current boss, acknowledging his role for the tweaks which secured the championship last campaign. Liverpool have lost four in a row across various tournaments post heavy investment, but he rubbished the idea that it might signal a slump.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, critics will regret if you use the wrong words. He’s an incredible talent. The French striker, excellent performer. It’s a really good balanced team. No need for concern regarding the Reds, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly about the death of Diogo Jota, whom he brought in during his tenure, and the effect at the club. The Portugal international was killed in a road accident with his brother in July.

“How do you replace a person like him? This isn't just regarding his on-field talent, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the dressing room absent his presence. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. It was an incredible shock for all the boys also. Not a single person would cite it for poor performances but it is the situation. You walk in a dressing room where he was omnipresent. Dealing with that individually is difficult. Unbearable.”
