Jurgen Klopp says coming back to coach Liverpool is theoretically possible.

The German coach, who left Anfield in 2024, remarked that a future comeback is a possibility. The 58-year-old, after a transformative nine-season tenure which brought Champions League success and the Premier League crown since 1990, has since taken on positions in a global football capacity for Red Bull and providing guidance with the German Football League.

Supporters’ Hopes and His Frank Comments

They secured the Premier League last season, but many fans who revere Klopp would welcome the possibility of his potential comeback. Speaking candidly, he shared with Steven Bartlett: “I said I will never coach any other side in England. Therefore should it be the Reds...yeah. It's plausible.”

“At 58 years old, so the choice could be mine later on, who knows. Must I choose now? If so, I wouldn't return. Luckily, I don’t have to do that. I can just see what the future brings.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Pressed on the specific conditions would need to occur to bring him back to the dugout, he revealed he was not instantly drawn to such a return. “I'm not entirely sure, My present work fulfills me,” he commented. “I don't crave being a coach; I avoid standing during downpours 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 a week.

“No nostalgia for the changing area per se, however, dining out alongside the squad having a nice chat, I appreciate that. With many victories so there was often a very good mood in the building. I can still hear Van Dijk's laughter in my ear to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

He commended regarding Arne Slot, crediting him for the adjustments that won the league last term. They've been defeated four consecutive matches in all competitions after a summer spending spree, yet he dismissed the notion of it representing a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker like Florian Wirtz, you will all eat your words with negative comments. He’s an incredible talent. The French striker, superb talent. It’s a really good balanced team. You don’t have to worry over the club, they'll bounce back.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

Klopp also spoke emotionally about the death of Jota, a player he signed during his tenure, along with the consequences at the club. Jota was killed in a vehicle collision with his brother in July.

“Who can fill the void of somebody like Diogo? It’s not about his on-field talent, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the team environment without him in it. I still cannot speak properly about it. A profound tragedy for his teammates also. Not a single person will ever use it for poor performances though it's a fact. Being in that space where his spirit remains. Dealing with that on a personal level is difficult. Impossible.”
