During an extensive chat, he shared with the podcast host: “I stated I won't manage another team within the country. So that means in case it's my former club...yeah. Theoretically it’s possible.”

“I’m 58, that means the choice could be mine later on, who knows. Must I choose now? If so, I wouldn't return. Fortunately, no such pressure exists. I can just see how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Pressed on which situations must arise to bring him back to the dugout, Klopp admitted he isn't eager for a comeback. “I don’t even know exactly, I love what I do right now,” he stated. “I don’t miss coaching; I avoid standing under bad weather through long matches; I'm glad to skip press conferences multiple times weekly or doing numerous chats each week.

“No nostalgia for the changing area per se, but sitting in a restaurant with the players talking freely, I appreciate that. With many victories so there was often great spirits at the club. I can still hear Van Dijk's laughter vividly recalled for example.”

Commending Arne Slot

He commended of the current boss, crediting him for the adjustments that won the league last term. Liverpool have lost a string of losses in every contest following significant transfers, though he denied the suggestion that it might signal a slump.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if you use the wrong words. He’s an incredible talent. [Hugo] Ekitike, excellent performer. This is a well-built balanced team. No need for concern about Liverpool, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

The manager expressed deep feeling regarding the passing of the Portuguese star, a player he signed during his tenure, and the effect for the team. Jota lost his life in a road accident together with his sibling recently.

“How do you replace such an individual? It’s not about his on-field talent, his personality mattered. I struggle to conceive the team environment without him in it. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. It was an incredible shock for his teammates also. Not a single person will ever use it for poor performances yet it's the reality. You walk in a dressing room which he filled completely. Dealing with that on a personal level is not easy. Overwhelming.”
