Jürgen Klopp’s departure from Liverpool at the end of the 2023-24 season marked the end of an unforgettable era at Anfield.
The charismatic German manager transformed the Reds into one of the most dominant teams in Europe during his tenure, winning a Premier League title, a Champions League crown, the FA Cup, two League Cups and a FIFA Club World Cup.
Since his resignation, Klopp has taken on a new challenge as global head of football at Red Bull, overseeing the company’s football operations around the world.
However, in a recent interview, the 58-year-old hinted that a return to the Liverpool dugout may not be entirely ruled out, fueling the enthusiasm of fans who still dream of his return.
Jurgen Klopp left Liverpool last year after a successful spell
Klopp shocked the football world in January 2024 by announcing he would leave Liverpool at the end of the season, citing the need for rest and a new chapter in his career. His farewell was an emotional one, as he bid farewell to the Anfield faithful after almost a decade of unprecedented success and a deep connection with the club’s supporters.
Now, almost a year later, speculation over a possible return has intensified after Klopp addressed the subject during an appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast.
When asked if he could ever imagine managing in the Premier League again, Klopp stuck to his past promises, as The Mirror reports:
“I said I would never coach another team in England. So that means if I go back to England it will be Liverpool. Yeah, theoretically it’s possible.”
His words have reignited hopes that the iconic tactician could one day make a dramatic return to the touchline at Anfield.
Klopp admits he doesn’t miss coaching
However, Klopp was quick to temper expectations. He admitted that he enjoys his current role away from the intensity of day-to-day management and does not miss certain aspects of coaching.
“I love what I do now. I don’t miss coaching. I coach but it’s just different, it’s not the players. I don’t miss standing in the rain for two and a half or three hours. I don’t miss going to press conferences three times a week either,” he explained.
Although Klopp’s comments suggest a return to Liverpool is unlikely in the immediate future, his refusal to rule it out completely has sparked enthusiasm among fans.
For now, Klopp seems content to shape the future of football from a different angle, but the door to Anfield, as he himself admitted, remains “theoretically” open.
