Former Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp says it is theoretically possible he could return to the Anfield hot seat one day, but he is convinced current boss Arne Slot will guide the club through the rough patch they are going through.

Klopp left Liverpool at the end of the 2023-24 season after leading the Merseyside club to almost every major honour during his nine-year spell, including Champions League and Premier League triumphs.

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 a different team in England so that means if (I go back),then its Liverpool. So yeah, theoretically its possible, Klopp said on The Diary of a CEO podcast on Monday.

However, he said he is content in his current role as head of global soccer for Red Bull.

I love what I do now. I dont miss coaching. I do coach but its just different, its not players, Klopp said.

I dont miss standing in the rain
