Jurgen Klopp described the potential of a shock return to Liverpool as “theoretically possible.” The iconic former Reds manager has been working as the Global Head of Soccer at Red Bull’s football franchise and recently joined an expert group helping the German Football League (DFL) improve their country’s development of young players.
In January 2024, Klopp revealed in an emotional interview with the internal Liverpool media team he was going to leave at the end of the 2023-24 campaign. He departed Anfield having won the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, two League Cups and the Club World Cup.
Recently, the German carried out an interview where he was asked if he would ever contemplate returning to Liverpool for a second spell. His reply made it clear the chances of him being in the Anfield dugout in the Premier League were unlikely – but he did not say it was impossible.

“Having ten or 12 interviews a week, I don’t miss that. I don’t. I don’t miss being in the dressing room. I coached around 1,080 games so I was in the dressing room very, very often.

“I don’t want to die in the dressing room. It’s these kind of things. 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. Do I have to make a decision today? I will not coach again, but thank God I do not have to do that, I can just see what the future brings.”
He then moved onto his role at Red Bull and added: “Now I am involved in a project I really love and I really love the people I am working with, the clubs we are responsible for and the countries the clubs are in.
“I like doing what I am doing right now. In my mind, only if I focus 100% on it, I can do it really good and that’s what I have always wanted to do.”
