“At 58 years old, which suggests I could make the decision later on, I don’t know. Is a decision required immediately? In that case, I'd stay away. But thank God, it's not necessary. I'll wait and observe how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

When asked about which situations would have to unfold to draw him back to the dugout, Klopp admitted he was not instantly drawn to such a return. “I'm not entirely sure, My present work fulfills me,” he said. “I don't crave being a coach; No desire to be under bad weather through long matches; I'm glad to skip press conferences multiple times weekly or having 10-12 interviews each week.

“The locker room isn't missed per se, yet sharing a meal with the team talking freely, I appreciate that. With many victories thus frequently great spirits around the place. I can still hear the captain's chuckle in my ear for example.”

Praise for His Successor

“How do you replace a person like him? It goes beyond the player himself, his personality mattered. I struggle to conceive the dressing room absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss regarding this. A profound tragedy for the entire squad too. No one within the club will ever use it for poor performances yet it's the reality. Entering the changing area where his spirit remains. Coping with it on a personal level is difficult. Overwhelming.”
