“At 58 years old, so I could make the decision down the line, I don’t know. Must I choose now? If so, I wouldn't return. Luckily, it's not necessary. I can just see what lies ahead.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Questioned regarding what circumstances would have to unfold to tempt his return to the touchline, he confessed he was not instantly drawn toward coming back. “It's unclear to me, My present work fulfills me,” he commented. “I don't crave being a coach; No desire to be during downpours for lengthy sessions; I don’t miss going to media briefings repeatedly each week or having 10-12 interviews a week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room as a dressing room, yet sharing a meal with the players enjoying conversation, is pleasant. Success was frequent thus frequently a very good mood at the club. Remaining with me is Van Dijk's laughter ringing in my ears as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

He shared movingly about the death of Diogo Jota, a 2020 acquisition while in charge, and its impact at the club. The forward lost his life in a road accident alongside his brother in July.

“How do you replace a person like him? It goes beyond his on-field talent, it's his character. I can’t imagine the team environment absent his presence. I find it difficult to discuss regarding this. It was an incredible shock for the entire squad too. Nobody at Liverpool would cite it to justify results though it's a fact. Entering the changing area where his spirit remains. Dealing with that individually is challenging. Impossible.”
