In theory, it could happen.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Pressed on which situations would need to occur to draw him back to the touchline, he revealed he was not instantly drawn toward coming back. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he stated. “No longing for management; No desire to be under bad weather for lengthy sessions; No need for press conferences four times, three times a week or constant media duties each week.

“The locker room isn't missed as a dressing room, yet sharing a meal alongside the squad having a nice chat, that’s nice. With many victories thus frequently positive atmosphere around the place. I can still hear the captain's chuckle vividly recalled to illustrate.”

Commending Arne Slot

He commended regarding Arne Slot, praising him for the tweaks that won the league in the previous season. The team has suffered four consecutive matches in every contest following significant transfers, but he rubbished the idea it could be a slump.

“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, you will all eat your words if you use the wrong words. An outstanding player. The French striker, excellent performer. It’s a really good thoughtfully assembled roster. Fans shouldn't fret over the club, they will be fine.”

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly on the loss of Diogo Jota, a player he signed while in charge, and its impact for the team. The Portugal international died tragically in a road accident with his brother recently.

“Who can fill the void of a person like him? It goes beyond his footballing ability, it's his character. It's hard to picture the dressing room without him in it. I still cannot speak properly about it. A profound tragedy for the entire squad too. Nobody at Liverpool would cite it as an excuse though it's a fact. Being in that space which he filled completely. Dealing with that on a personal level is difficult. Overwhelming.”
