🔗 Share this article Jurgen Klopp admits coming back to coach Liverpool is theoretically possible. The German coach, who departed from Liverpool in 2024, remarked that rejoining the club remains a possibility. Klopp, following a hugely successful nine-year spell that included a European Cup triumph and the Premier League crown since 1990, now holds roles overseeing worldwide football with the Red Bull group and as an advisor with the German Football League. Fan Sentiment and Klopp’s Candid Remarks They secured the Premier League in the previous campaign, though countless followers who adore the manager would welcome the notion of his potential comeback. During an extensive chat, he explained to the podcast host: “I stated I won't manage a different club within the country. Therefore in case it's my former club...absolutely. Theoretically it’s possible.” “At 58 years old, that means I might decide 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 wait and observe how things unfold.” What Would Lure Him Back? Pressed on which situations would need to occur to tempt his return to the touchline, Klopp admitted he was not instantly drawn for a comeback. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he stated. “No longing for management; No desire to be under bad weather through long matches; No need for press conferences repeatedly each week or constant media duties a week. “No nostalgia for the changing area per se, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad having a nice chat, is pleasant. We won a lot of games so there was often positive atmosphere around the place. I can still hear Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh in my ear as an instance.” Praise for His Successor Klopp was full of praise for his successor, acknowledging his role for the tweaks that took the title in the previous season. Liverpool have lost a string of losses in every contest after a summer spending spree, but he rubbished the idea it could be a slump. “[Liverpool have] an incredible striker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if you use the wrong words. An outstanding player. The French striker, superb talent. They have a strong balanced team. You don’t have to worry about Liverpool, they'll bounce back.” Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward Klopp also spoke emotionally regarding the passing of Diogo Jota, a player he signed while in charge, and its impact for the team. The forward lost his life in a car crash together with his sibling this past summer. “How do you replace somebody like Diogo? It’s not about his on-field talent, his personality mattered. It's hard to picture the squad missing him. I still cannot speak properly about it. It was an incredible shock for his teammates too. No one within the club might employ it as an excuse though it's a fact. Being in that space which he filled completely. Coping with it emotionally is difficult. Unbearable.”
