'It's possible': Jurgen Klopp refuses to rule out shock Liverpool return | OneFootball

Klopp left Anfield last year after nine years in charge

Jurgen Klopp has not ruled out a return to Liverpool.

The German, who managed the Reds for nine years, departed Anfield back in the summer of 2024.

Arne Slot replaced him at the helm, and won the Premier League title in his first term on Merseyside.

When he left, Klopp iterated that he would not return to the Premier League, saying that he would not manage “any other” English side out of respective for his previous employers.

Now, it seems as though the former Borussia Dortmund manager is keeping the door ajar for an improbable return to Anfield.

“I said I will never coach a different team in England,” Klopp said on the Diary of a CEO podcast.

“So that means if it’s Liverpool, yeah. Theoretically it’s possible.”

Klopp is currently the ‘Head of Global Football’ at the Red Bull group, overseeing RB Leipzig, RB Salzburg, and New York Red Bulls among the clubs under the Red Bull umbrella.

“I love what I do right now,” he continued.

“I don’t miss coaching. I don’t. I mean I do coach, but just different[ly]. Not players.

“I don’t miss it. I don’t miss standing in the rain for two and a half, three hours. I don’t miss going to press conferences four times, three times a week, having 10, 12 interviews a week. I don’t miss that. I don’t.

“So I don’t miss being in the dressing room in a sense that I didn’t have it often. I coached 1,080-something games, so I was in a dressing room very, very often.

“I don’t want to die in a dressing room just because it’s so nice, it smells. So it’s these kinds of things.

“But there might be something. I’m 58. That’s from your perspective, old. From the other perspective, from the other side, it’s not that old.

“That means I could make the decision in a few years. I don’t know. Do I have to make the decision today? I will not coach again, but thank God I don’t have to do that. I can just see what the future brings.”Klopp insisted that he “loved” the Red Bull project he had invested himself in.

“I’m involved in a project I really love and I love the people I’m working together with and the clubs we are responsible for and the countries the clubs are in,” he said.

“So I like doing what I’m doing right now and in my mind only if I’m focused 100% on it, I can do it really well and that’s what I always want to do.”
