The German coach, who departed from Anfield in 2024, indicated that rejoining the club remains an option. Klopp, post a game-changing near-decade reign featuring Champions League success and the Premier League crown in 30 years, has since taken on roles overseeing worldwide football within the Red Bull organization and providing guidance with the German Football League.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

They secured the Premier League under Arne Slot, but many fans holding him in high esteem would welcome the idea that he might come back one day. In a wide-ranging interview, he told Steven Bartlett: “I stated I won't manage any other side in England. Which implies in case it's my former club...absolutely. It's plausible.”

“Being 58, that means I might decide in a few years, I don’t know. Must I choose now? If so, I wouldn't return. Luckily, I don’t have to do that. I can just see how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Questioned regarding which situations would need to occur to tempt his return to the dugout, he confessed he feels no immediate pull toward coming back. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he said. “I don’t miss coaching; I avoid standing under bad weather for two-and-a-half or three hours; I don’t miss going to media briefings four times, three times a week or constant media duties weekly.

“I don’t miss the dressing room per se, but sitting in a restaurant with the team enjoying conversation, that’s nice. We won a lot of games thus frequently a very good mood around the place. Remaining with me is the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears as an instance.”

Praise for His Successor

Klopp was full of praise for his successor, crediting him for the adjustments which secured the championship last term. They've been defeated four in a row in all competitions after a summer spending spree, though he denied the notion that it might signal a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker like Florian Wirtz, you will all eat your words with negative comments. An outstanding player. The French striker, excellent performer. This is a well-built thoughtfully assembled roster. Fans shouldn't fret over the club, things will improve.”

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

He shared movingly about the death of Diogo Jota, a player he signed while in charge, and its impact for the team. Jota was killed in a car crash alongside his brother in July.

“Who can fill the void of a person like him? It’s not about his on-field talent, it's his character. I struggle to conceive the dressing room missing him. I find it difficult to discuss regarding this. A devastating blow for all the boys too. No one within the club will ever use it to justify results but it is the situation. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Handling this individually is not easy. Impossible.”
