“At 58 years old, that means I could make the decision down the line, I don’t know. Do I have to make the decision today? If so, I wouldn't return. Fortunately, it's not necessary. I'll simply watch how things unfold.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Pressed on which situations would need to occur to bring him back to the dugout, he revealed he isn't eager to such a return. “It's unclear to me, I enjoy my current role,” he commented. “I don't crave being a coach; I don’t miss standing during downpours through long matches; I'm glad to skip press conferences repeatedly each week or doing numerous chats each week.

“No nostalgia for the changing area per se, but sitting in a restaurant with the team enjoying conversation, I appreciate that. Success was frequent meaning regularly positive atmosphere at the club. I still have the captain's chuckle ringing in my ears as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

He commended of the current boss, praising him for the tweaks that won the league last term. Liverpool have lost four consecutive matches across various tournaments post heavy investment, but he rubbished the notion it could be a decline.

“[Liverpool have] a top-class attacker such as Wirtz, you will all eat your words if you use the wrong words. An outstanding player. The French striker, superb talent. This is a well-built thoughtfully assembled roster. Fans shouldn't fret regarding the Reds, things will improve.”

Emotional Tribute for the Late Forward

He shared movingly on the loss of the Portuguese star, whom he brought in in 2020, and the effect at the club. Jota was killed in a road accident alongside his brother recently.

“How do you replace a person like him? It’s not about his on-field talent, his personality mattered. I struggle to conceive the squad absent his presence. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. It was an incredible shock for his teammates also. Nobody at Liverpool will ever use it to justify results but it is the situation. Entering the changing area which he filled completely. Coping with it emotionally is not easy. Overwhelming.”
