Jurgen Klopp admits rejoining to coach Liverpool is plausible in theory.

Jurgen Klopp, who left Anfield in 2024, has suggested that returning someday is a possibility. Klopp, following a hugely successful nine-season tenure which brought Champions League success and the Premier League crown since 1990, currently occupies positions overseeing worldwide football with the Red Bull group and providing guidance to Germany's league body.

Supporters’ Hopes and His Frank Comments

Liverpool won England's top flight under Arne Slot, yet numerous supporters who adore the manager would welcome the idea that he may eventually return. During an extensive chat, he explained to the podcast host: “I stated I will never coach another team within the country. So that means should it be the Reds...yes. It's plausible.”

“At 58 years old, so the choice could be mine later on, who knows. Do I have to make the decision today? Then I will not coach again. But thank God, no such pressure exists. I'll simply watch how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about the specific conditions would need to occur to bring him back to the dugout, he revealed he feels no immediate pull toward coming back. “It's unclear to me, My present work fulfills me,” he commented. “I don't crave being a coach; No desire to be under bad weather for two-and-a-half or three hours; I don’t miss going to interviews four times, three times a week or constant media duties weekly.

“The locker room isn't missed in that context, however, dining out with the players having a nice chat, is pleasant. We won a lot of games thus frequently a very good mood in the building. I still have the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears for example.”

Praise for His Successor

Klopp was full of praise for his successor, praising him due to the changes which secured the championship last term. Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches in all competitions after a summer spending spree, but he rubbished the suggestion that it might signal a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward like Florian Wirtz, critics will regret if you use the wrong words. An outstanding player. The French striker, excellent performer. This is a well-built well-judged squad. Fans shouldn't fret regarding the Reds, things will improve.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

Klopp also spoke emotionally on the loss of Jota, a player he signed while in charge, and the effect for the team. The forward died tragically in a vehicle collision with his brother in July.

“Who can fill the void of a person like him? It goes beyond his on-field talent, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the team environment absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss on this topic. A devastating blow for all the boys also. No one within the club might employ it to justify results yet it's the reality. You walk in a dressing room which he filled completely. Dealing with that emotionally is difficult. Unbearable.”
