Jurgen Klopp states coming back to lead Liverpool is theoretically possible.

The German coach, who departed from Anfield in 2024, indicated that returning someday is an option. The 58-year-old, after a transformative near-decade reign that included continental glory and the Premier League crown for three decades, currently occupies roles as head of global soccer for Red Bull and in an advisory capacity with the German Football League.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

Liverpool won the Premier League last season, yet numerous supporters holding him in high esteem would welcome the possibility that he may eventually return. In a wide-ranging interview, he explained to Steven Bartlett: “I declared I won't manage any other side in England. Therefore should it be the Reds...yeah. In theory, it could happen.”

“I’m 58, 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. Luckily, it's not necessary. I can just see what lies ahead.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Questioned regarding the specific conditions must arise to tempt his return to management, he revealed he isn't eager to such a return. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “I don’t miss coaching; I don’t miss standing under bad weather for lengthy sessions; I don’t miss going to interviews multiple times weekly or doing numerous chats weekly.

“The locker room isn't missed per se, however, dining out alongside the squad talking freely, is pleasant. We won a lot of games so there was often great spirits in the building. I still have Van Dijk's laughter in my ear to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

He commended for his successor, praising him due to the changes that won the league last term. They've been defeated four consecutive matches in all competitions post heavy investment, though he denied the suggestion it could be the start of a downward turn.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward in Flo[rian] Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if you use the wrong words. A remarkable prospect. [Hugo] Ekitike, excellent performer. They have a strong well-judged squad. Fans shouldn't fret over the club, they'll bounce back.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

He shared movingly on the loss of Jota, a 2020 acquisition during his tenure, and the effect for the team. The Portugal international was killed in a car crash alongside his brother this past summer.

“Who can fill the void of somebody like Diogo? It’s not about his footballing ability, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the dressing room missing him. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. It was an incredible shock for his teammates also. No one within the club might employ it for poor performances though it's a fact. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Dealing with that on a personal level is challenging. Impossible.”
