🔗 Share this article The former Liverpool manager says rejoining to lead Liverpool is plausible in theory. The German coach, who stepped down from Anfield in 2024, remarked that a future comeback remains a possibility. The 58-year-old, after a transformative near-decade reign featuring a European Cup triumph and ending the club's long wait in 30 years, has since taken on roles overseeing worldwide football within the Red Bull organization and as an advisor to Germany's league body. Supporters’ Hopes and His Frank Comments They secured the league title last season, but many fans who adore the manager would be thrilled by the idea that he may eventually return. In a wide-ranging interview, he explained to Steven Bartlett: “I stated I won't manage any other side within the country. Which implies in case it's my former club...yes. In theory, it could happen.” “Being 58, that means I might decide in a few years, who knows. Do I have to make the decision today? In that case, I'd stay away. Fortunately, I don’t have to do that. I'll wait and observe what the future brings.” What Would Lure Him Back? Pressed on the specific conditions must arise to draw him back to management, he confessed he feels no immediate pull for a comeback. “I don’t even know exactly, I enjoy my current role,” he commented. “No longing for management; I don’t miss standing during downpours for lengthy sessions; I'm glad to skip media briefings four times, three times a week or having 10-12 interviews a week. “No nostalgia for the changing area as a dressing room, but sitting in a restaurant with the players talking freely, I appreciate that. With many victories so there was often a very good mood in the building. Remaining with me is the captain's chuckle vividly recalled as an instance.” Praise for His Successor Klopp was full of praise for his successor, acknowledging his role due to the changes that won the league in the previous season. They've been defeated a string of losses in every contest post heavy investment, but he rubbished the suggestion of it representing a slump. “[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward such as Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if spoken against. A remarkable prospect. Ekitike, incredible player. It’s a really good well-judged squad. You don’t have to worry about Liverpool, they will be fine.” Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward The manager expressed deep feeling on the loss of Diogo Jota, a 2020 acquisition in 2020, along with the consequences for the team. The forward lost his life in a road accident alongside his brother in July. “Who can fill the void of a person like him? It goes beyond the player himself, it’s the guy he was. It's hard to picture the squad absent his presence. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. A profound tragedy for his teammates also. No one within the club would cite it as an excuse though it's a fact. You walk in a dressing room where he was omnipresent. Coping with it emotionally is difficult. Overwhelming.”
