With Jurgen Klopp set to depart from his managerial role at Liverpool due to feeling “exhausted,” speculation abounds regarding his next move, despite his declared intention to take a year-long break from the sport. Recent reports from The Independent suggest that Klopp may entertain the idea of returning to his former club, Borussia Dortmund, in 2025, where he previously managed from 2008 to 2015.

According to Miguel Delaney of The Independent, discussions within Dortmund circles are intensifying regarding the potential return of Klopp, not as a head coach but possibly in a capacity related to football management.

However, there is caution surrounding the notion of Klopp’s return, as some within the club view it as an inevitable but potentially problematic move, reminiscent of past glory eras. The sentiment suggests that such nostalgic appointments don’t always yield positive outcomes.

Klopp’s legacy at Dortmund, where he secured two Bundesliga titles and reached a Champions League final, solidifies his status as a revered figure. If he were to rejoin the club, it’s speculated that his role would be less demanding than that of a head coach, allowing current manager Edin Terzic to continue in his position while Klopp assumes a different role, possibly providing guidance and support.

While transfer rumors swirl, Liverpool prepares for the final stretch of Klopp’s tenure, commencing with a match against Tottenham this Sunday, followed by an encounter with Aston Villa on May 13th.
