In a wide-ranging interview, he told Steven Bartlett: “I said I will never coach another team in England. Therefore in case it's my former club...yes. It's plausible.”

“At 58 years old, that means I might decide down the line, who knows. Do I have to make the decision today? In that case, I'd stay away. But thank God, no such pressure exists. I'll wait and observe what lies ahead.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about which situations would need to occur to bring him back to the dugout, he confessed he was not instantly drawn for a comeback. “I don’t even know exactly, My present work fulfills me,” he stated. “No longing for management; I don’t miss standing in the rain for lengthy sessions; I don’t miss going to media briefings four times, three times a week or doing numerous chats weekly.

“The locker room isn't missed per se, however, dining out with the team enjoying conversation, I appreciate that. With many victories thus frequently positive atmosphere around the place. Remaining with me is the captain's chuckle in my ear for example.”

Commending Arne Slot

He commended for his successor, praising him for the tweaks which secured the championship last term. The team has suffered a string of losses in every contest after a summer spending spree, though he denied the idea that it might signal a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker like Florian Wirtz, critics will regret if you use the wrong words. A remarkable prospect. The French striker, excellent performer. This is a well-built balanced team. Fans shouldn't fret regarding the Reds, they'll bounce back.”

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

The manager expressed deep feeling on the loss of the Portuguese star, a player he signed while in charge, along with the consequences on Liverpool. The forward lost his life in a road accident with his brother in July.

“Can you substitute a person like him? It’s not about his on-field talent, it’s the guy he was. It's hard to picture the team environment absent his presence. I still cannot speak properly regarding this. It was an incredible shock for his teammates also. No one within the club will ever use it to justify results yet it's the reality. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Handling this individually is difficult. Overwhelming.”
