“I’m 58, that means I might decide down the line, it's uncertain. Is a decision required immediately? If so, I wouldn't return. But thank God, no such pressure exists. I'll wait and observe what the future brings.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Questioned regarding the specific conditions must arise to bring him back to management, he revealed he isn't eager to such a return. “I'm not entirely sure, I enjoy my current role,” he commented. “I don’t miss coaching; No desire to be during downpours for two-and-a-half or three hours; I don’t miss going to interviews four times, three times a week or doing numerous chats each week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room in that context, however, dining out alongside the squad having a nice chat, is pleasant. We won a lot of games thus frequently great spirits in the building. I can still hear the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears as an instance.”

Praise for His Successor

He spoke highly for his successor, acknowledging his role for the tweaks which secured the championship last term. Liverpool have lost four in a row in all competitions following significant transfers, but he rubbished the notion that it might signal a slump.

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward like Florian Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if you use the wrong words. A remarkable prospect. [Hugo] Ekitike, incredible player. They have a strong well-judged squad. You don’t have to worry over the club, they'll bounce back.”

Emotional Tribute for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly regarding the passing of Jota, a 2020 acquisition in 2020, along with the consequences on Liverpool. The forward lost his life in a car crash together with his sibling recently.

“Who can fill the void of such an individual? This isn't just regarding his footballing ability, his personality mattered. I struggle to conceive the team environment missing him. I still cannot speak properly on this topic. A profound tragedy for his teammates as well. Not a single person will ever use it for poor performances but it is the situation. Being in that space where he was omnipresent. Dealing with that emotionally is difficult. Overwhelming.”
