The former Liverpool manager says coming back to coach Liverpool is plausible in theory.

The German coach, who departed from Liverpool in 2024, has suggested that rejoining the club is an option. The 58-year-old, post a game-changing near-decade reign which brought continental glory and the Premier League crown for three decades, now holds roles in a global football capacity with the Red Bull group and in an advisory capacity to Germany's league body.

Fan Sentiment and His Frank Comments

Liverpool won the league title under Arne Slot, yet numerous supporters holding him in high esteem would be thrilled by the idea that he may eventually return. Speaking candidly, he told the podcast host: “I stated I will never coach a different club in England. So that means if then it’s Liverpool...yes. Theoretically it’s possible.”

“At 58 years old, so I might decide down the line, it's uncertain. Is a decision required immediately? In that case, I'd stay away. But thank God, it's not necessary. I can just see how things unfold.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Pressed on what circumstances would need to occur to bring him back to the touchline, he revealed he was not instantly drawn for a comeback. “I'm not entirely sure, My present work fulfills me,” he said. “I don't crave being a coach; I avoid standing during downpours for lengthy sessions; I'm glad to skip media briefings multiple times weekly or constant media duties a week.

“The locker room isn't missed per se, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad talking freely, is pleasant. We won a lot of games thus frequently great spirits in the building. I still have the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears to illustrate.”

Praise for His Successor

He spoke highly regarding Arne Slot, acknowledging his role for the tweaks which secured the championship in the previous season. Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches in all competitions post heavy investment, but he rubbished the suggestion it could be a slump.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward like Florian Wirtz, critics will regret with negative comments. An outstanding player. Ekitike, incredible player. It’s a really good well-judged squad. You don’t have to worry about Liverpool, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly on the loss of the Portuguese star, whom he brought in while in charge, and its impact at the club. The forward lost his life in a car crash together with his sibling recently.

“Who can fill the void of such an individual? It goes beyond his on-field talent, his personality mattered. I can’t imagine the dressing room without him in it. Putting it into words is tough about it. It was an incredible shock for all the boys also. No one within the club would cite it for poor performances though it's a fact. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Coping with it individually is not easy. Unbearable.”
