Jurgen Klopp admits coming back to manage Liverpool is theoretically possible.

The German coach, who left Liverpool in 2024, has suggested that returning someday remains something that could happen. The 58-year-old, post a game-changing nine-year spell that included a European Cup triumph and ending the club's long wait for three decades, currently occupies roles in a global football capacity within the Red Bull organization and in an advisory capacity with the German Football League.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

They secured the league title in the previous campaign, though countless followers who adore the manager would welcome the notion of his potential comeback. In a wide-ranging interview, he explained to the podcast host: “I declared I will never coach a different club within the country. Therefore in case it's my former club...absolutely. It's plausible.”

“I’m 58, that means the choice could be mine down the line, it's uncertain. Is a decision required immediately? Then I will not coach again. Fortunately, it's not necessary. I'll simply watch what the future brings.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about the specific conditions would have to unfold to bring him back to management, he confessed he isn't eager to such a return. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “I don't crave being a coach; No desire to be in the rain through long matches; I'm glad to skip interviews repeatedly each week or doing numerous chats weekly.

“No nostalgia for the changing area per se, yet sharing a meal with the team talking freely, is pleasant. With many victories so there was often positive atmosphere at the club. Remaining with me is Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh in my ear for example.”

Praise for His Successor

He spoke highly for his successor, acknowledging his role due to the changes that took the title last term. They've been defeated four consecutive matches in every contest post heavy investment, yet he dismissed the suggestion it could be a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if you use the wrong words. He’s an incredible talent. [Hugo] Ekitike, superb talent. It’s a really good well-judged squad. No need for concern over the club, they'll bounce back.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

The manager expressed deep feeling on the loss of Diogo Jota, whom he brought in while in charge, along with the consequences on Liverpool. Jota lost his life in a road accident alongside his brother recently.

“How do you replace somebody like Diogo? This isn't just regarding his footballing ability, it’s the guy he was. I can’t imagine the dressing room missing him. I still cannot speak properly about it. It was an incredible shock for the entire squad too. Nobody at Liverpool will ever use it for poor performances though it's a fact. Being in that space which he filled completely. Dealing with that individually is challenging. Impossible.”
