There, Arne Slots Liverpool finally got a win in the Premier League. Rarely has a Liverpool manager been so relieved after a single win against West Ham, but this time it was a must-win game. In the background, Jürgen Klopp’s name continues to appear.

Over the past month, Champion Klopp has been linked with a Liverpool return, now clearly no longer as burnt out as in 2024 at the early exit. Liverpool legend Emile Heskey believes Klopp simply can’t stay away, if the club in his heart continues on the path to sporting collapse this season.

Jürgen Klopp himself has opened the door to expectations of a Liverpool return:

-I said that I will never coach another team, another team in England. So that means that if it is then Liverpool, yes, theoretically it is possible,” Klopp stated in the podcast The Diary of a CEO.

Reds legend Emile Heskey believes it will be difficult for Klopp to stay away.

“For a manager who did what he did for Liverpool, it would be difficult for him to see them in this form. To pull them out of the mess they were in and then leave them in the position he did, Klopp will always be linked with a return, especially when he has left the door open,” Heskey said according to Goal when asked about a potential Klopp return.
