The German coach, who departed from Anfield in 2024, remarked that rejoining the club remains an option.

During an extensive chat, he shared with his interviewer: “I said I will never coach any other side in England. Which implies in case it's my former club...yeah. It's plausible.”

“Being 58, so the choice could be mine in a few years, who knows. Must I choose now? In that case, I'd stay away. Fortunately, no such pressure exists. I'll simply watch what lies ahead.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Questioned regarding what circumstances would need to occur to tempt his return to the touchline, he revealed he isn't eager for a comeback. “It's unclear to me, I love what I do right now,” he said. “I don't crave being a coach; I avoid standing in the rain for lengthy sessions; I'm glad to skip media briefings four times, three times a week or having 10-12 interviews a week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room in that context, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad talking freely, is pleasant. Success was frequent thus frequently a very good mood around the place. Remaining with me is Van Dijk's laughter ringing in my ears for example.”

Praise for His Successor

Klopp was full of praise for his successor, crediting him due to the changes which secured the championship in the previous season. The team has suffered a string of losses across various tournaments following significant transfers, yet he dismissed the idea that it might signal a slump.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward like Florian Wirtz, doubters will be silenced with negative comments. An outstanding player. [Hugo] Ekitike, excellent performer. It’s a really good balanced team. You don’t have to worry regarding the Reds, they will be fine.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

He shared movingly on the loss of the Portuguese star, a player he signed during his tenure, and its impact on Liverpool. Jota lost his life in a vehicle collision together with his sibling recently.

“Who can fill the void of such an individual? This isn't just regarding his on-field talent, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the dressing room without him in it. I find it difficult to discuss on this topic. A devastating blow for his teammates too. Not a single person will ever use it as an excuse though it's a fact. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Handling this emotionally is difficult. Impossible.”
