Former Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp says it is «theoretically possible» he could return to Anfield one day, but he is confident current boss Arne Slot will guide the club through the difficult period.
Klopp left Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season after leading the Merseyside club to almost every major honor during his nine-year spell, including wins in the Champions League and Premier League.
The 58-year-old German was succeeded by Slot, who became the first Dutch manager to win the Premier League.
«I said I will never coach another team in England, so that means if I go back it will be Liverpool. So yes, in theory it is possible,» Klopp said on The Diary of a CEO podcast on Monday.
However, he said he is satisfied with his current role as head of global football for Red Bull.
«I like what I do now. I don’t miss coaching. I do coach, but it’s just different, they’re not players,» Klopp said.
«I don’t miss standing in the rain for two and a half to three hours. I don’t miss going to press conferences three times a week either… I don’t miss being in the locker room…

«I’m 58. From your perspective that might be old, but from other perspectives it’s not that old. That means I could make a decision in a few years. I don’t know.»
Liverpool have suffered four consecutive defeats for the first time since November 2014 after Sunday’s 2-1 home defeat to Manchester United, but Klopp was confident Slot would turn things around with the likes of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike at his disposal.
«Wirtz, you will all eat your words if you use the wrong words. He is an incredible talent,» he added. “Ekitike, an incredible player. Just the attacking players… it’s a very, very good team.
«So you don’t have to worry about Liverpool, they will be fine.»
