Supporters’ Hopes and His Frank Comments
They secured the league title last season, but many fans holding him in high esteem would welcome the notion that he may eventually return. During an extensive chat, he told the podcast host: “I said I won't manage any other side within the country. Which implies if then it’s Liverpool...yes. In theory, it could happen.”
“I’m 58, so I might decide in a few years, who knows. Must I choose now? If so, I wouldn't return. Fortunately, I don’t have to do that. I can just see how things unfold.”
What Would Lure Him Back?
Questioned regarding the specific conditions would need to occur to bring him back to the touchline, he revealed he isn't eager toward coming back. “I don’t even know exactly, I love what I do right now,” he commented. “I don't crave being a coach; No desire to be during downpours for lengthy sessions; I'm glad to skip media briefings multiple times weekly or having 10-12 interviews a week.
“I don’t miss the dressing room as a dressing room, but sitting in a restaurant alongside the squad enjoying conversation, I appreciate that. Success was frequent thus frequently great spirits around the place. I can still hear Van Dijk's laughter in my ear to illustrate.”
Commending Arne Slot
He spoke highly of the current boss, crediting him for the adjustments which secured the championship last term. Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches in all competitions following significant transfers, though he denied the notion that it might signal a decline.
“[Liverpool have] an incredible striker in Flo[rian] Wirtz, you will all eat your words if you use the wrong words. A remarkable prospect. [Hugo] Ekitike, incredible player. They have a strong thoughtfully assembled roster. No need for concern about Liverpool, things will improve.”
Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward
He shared movingly on the loss of Diogo Jota, a player he signed in 2020, and its impact at the club. The forward lost his life in a road accident alongside his brother recently.
“Can you substitute somebody like Diogo? This isn't just regarding his on-field talent, his personality mattered. I can’t imagine the dressing room without him in it. Putting it into words is tough on this topic. It was an incredible shock for his teammates as well. No one within the club will ever use it for poor performances though it's a fact. Entering the changing area where he was omnipresent. Coping with it individually is difficult. Unbearable.”
