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

The German coach, who stepped down from Liverpool in 2024, has suggested that rejoining the club remains something that could happen. Klopp, following a hugely successful nine-season tenure which brought a European Cup triumph and the Reds’ first league title for three decades, has since taken on positions overseeing worldwide football with the Red Bull group and providing guidance to Germany's league body.

Supporters’ Hopes and His Frank Comments

Liverpool won the Premier League last season, but many fans holding him in high esteem would be thrilled by the idea that he may eventually return. In a wide-ranging interview, he told the podcast host: “I declared I refuse to lead a different club in England. So that means in case it's my former club...absolutely. It's plausible.”

“I’m 58, that means I could make the decision in a few years, it's uncertain. Is a decision required immediately? In that case, I'd stay away. Fortunately, it's not necessary. I can just see how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about what circumstances would have to unfold to tempt his return to management, he revealed he was not instantly drawn toward coming back. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “No longing for management; I avoid standing during downpours through long matches; I'm glad to skip interviews repeatedly each week or doing numerous chats a week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room in that context, yet sharing a meal with the team having a nice chat, that’s nice. With many victories meaning regularly a very good mood in the building. Remaining with me is Van Dijk's laughter vividly recalled as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

He commended regarding Arne Slot, praising him for the adjustments which secured the championship last term. The team has suffered a string of losses across various tournaments after a summer spending spree, though he denied the idea that it might signal the start of a downward turn.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker such as Wirtz, critics will regret if you use the wrong words. A remarkable prospect. [Hugo] Ekitike, incredible player. It’s a really good balanced team. You don’t have to worry about Liverpool, they'll bounce back.”

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

The manager expressed deep feeling on the loss of the Portuguese star, a player he signed during his tenure, and its impact on Liverpool. The Portugal international died tragically in a road accident together with his sibling this past summer.

“Who can fill the void of a person like him? It goes beyond his on-field talent, it's his character. It's hard to picture the team environment without him in it. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. A profound tragedy for all the boys as well. Not a single person will ever use it to justify results yet it's the reality. Entering the changing area where his spirit remains. Handling this on a personal level is not easy. Unbearable.”
