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

The German coach, who departed from Anfield in 2024, indicated that rejoining the club is something that could happen. The 58-year-old, after a transformative nine-year spell featuring a European Cup triumph and ending the club's long wait for three decades, currently occupies roles as head of global soccer within the Red Bull organization and in an advisory capacity to Germany's league body.

Fan Sentiment and Klopp’s Candid Remarks

The club claimed England's top flight in the previous campaign, but many fans who adore the manager would embrace the notion that he may eventually return. Speaking candidly, he told Steven Bartlett: “I said I won't manage a different club on English soil. So that means in case it's my former club...yeah. In theory, it could happen.”

“At 58 years old, that means I might decide down the line, it's uncertain. Do I have to make the decision today? Then I will not coach again. But thank God, I don’t have to do that. I can just see what lies ahead.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Pressed on the specific conditions would have to unfold to bring him back to management, he confessed he feels no immediate pull to such a return. “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 lengthy sessions; No need for press conferences repeatedly each week or doing numerous chats a week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room per se, yet sharing a meal with the team enjoying conversation, that’s nice. With many victories meaning regularly a very good mood in the building. I still have Virgil [Van Dijk’s] laugh in my ear for example.”

Commending Arne Slot

Klopp was full of praise regarding Arne Slot, acknowledging his role due to the changes which secured the championship last campaign. Liverpool have lost four in a row in all competitions post heavy investment, but he rubbished the idea that it might signal a slump.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, you will all eat your words if spoken against. An outstanding player. The French striker, superb talent. They have a strong balanced team. No need for concern about Liverpool, they will be fine.”

Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly about the death of Diogo Jota, a player he signed while in charge, and its impact on Liverpool. The Portugal international was killed in a vehicle collision together with his sibling recently.

“Who can fill the void of somebody like Diogo? This isn't just regarding the player himself, it's his character. I can’t imagine the squad absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss about it. A devastating blow for the entire squad also. No one within the club will ever use it to justify results but it is the situation. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Dealing with that emotionally is challenging. Unbearable.”
