Jurgen Klopp says rejoining to manage Liverpool is plausible in theory.

Jurgen Klopp, who left Liverpool in 2024, indicated that rejoining the club remains an option. Klopp, following a hugely successful near-decade reign which brought Champions League success and the Premier League crown since 1990, now holds roles in a global football capacity for Red Bull and in an advisory capacity for the DFL.

Supporters’ Hopes and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

Liverpool won England's top flight in the previous campaign, but many fans holding him in high esteem would embrace the possibility of his potential comeback. Speaking candidly, he explained to the podcast host: “I stated I will never coach any other side in England. Which implies should it be the Reds...yes. In theory, it could happen.”

“Being 58, which suggests I could make the decision down the line, it's uncertain. Do I have to make the decision today? If so, I wouldn't return. But thank God, it's not necessary. I can just see what the future brings.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Pressed on the specific conditions must arise to draw him back to the touchline, he confessed he feels no immediate pull to such a return. “It's unclear to me, My present work fulfills me,” he stated. “I don’t miss coaching; I avoid standing in the rain through long matches; No need for interviews four times, three times a week or having 10-12 interviews a week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room per se, yet sharing a meal with the players talking freely, is pleasant. We won a lot of games meaning regularly positive atmosphere around the place. I still have Van Dijk's laughter ringing in my ears to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

Klopp was full of praise regarding Arne Slot, crediting him for the tweaks that won the league last campaign. Liverpool have lost four in a row in every contest after a summer spending spree, yet he dismissed the idea of it representing a slump.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker such as Wirtz, critics will regret if you use the wrong words. An outstanding player. The French striker, excellent performer. It’s a really good balanced team. You don’t have to worry about Liverpool, they'll bounce back.”

Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly on the loss of Diogo Jota, a 2020 acquisition during his tenure, and the effect at the club. Jota died tragically in a car crash alongside his brother in July.

“Who can fill the void of a person like him? This isn't just regarding his on-field talent, it’s the guy he was. I can’t imagine the squad absent his presence. Putting it into words is tough on this topic. A profound tragedy for the entire squad too. Nobody at Liverpool would cite it as an excuse yet it's the reality. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Dealing with that emotionally is difficult. Impossible.”
