The former Liverpool manager admits a return to coach Liverpool is plausible in theory.

The German coach, who stepped down from Liverpool in 2024, remarked that returning someday remains a possibility. The 58-year-old, post a game-changing nine-season tenure that included a European Cup triumph and the Reds’ first league title for three decades, currently occupies roles in a global football capacity for Red Bull and in an advisory capacity for the DFL.

Fan Sentiment and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

They secured the league title last season, though countless followers who revere Klopp would embrace the notion that he might come back one day. In a wide-ranging interview, he told the podcast host: “I declared I will never coach any other side on English soil. So that means in case it's my former club...yes. It's plausible.”

“I’m 58, which suggests I could make the decision down the line, it's uncertain. Must I choose now? Then I will not coach again. Luckily, it's not necessary. I'll simply watch how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about which situations would need to occur to draw him back to the touchline, he revealed he was not instantly drawn to such a return. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he stated. “I don’t miss coaching; I don’t miss standing during downpours through long matches; I don’t miss going to interviews repeatedly each week or doing numerous chats a week.

“No nostalgia for the changing area as a dressing room, but sitting in a restaurant with the team talking freely, that’s nice. With many victories thus frequently great spirits at the club. I can still hear the captain's chuckle vividly recalled for example.”

Praise for His Successor

He commended regarding Arne Slot, praising him for the adjustments which secured the championship in the previous season. Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches across various tournaments after a summer spending spree, but he rubbished the idea it could be a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker such as Wirtz, doubters will be silenced with negative comments. An outstanding player. The French striker, excellent performer. It’s a really good balanced team. Fans shouldn't fret about Liverpool, things will improve.”

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

Klopp also spoke emotionally regarding the passing of the Portuguese star, a 2020 acquisition while in charge, and the effect for the team. The forward was killed in a car crash with his brother this past summer.

“Who can fill the void of somebody like Diogo? It goes beyond the player himself, his personality mattered. I can’t imagine the dressing room absent his presence. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. A profound tragedy for all the boys as well. Nobody at Liverpool will ever use it for poor performances but it is the situation. Being in that space where his spirit remains. Dealing with that on a personal level is difficult. Impossible.”
