Some supporters will be hoping that Klopp could be persuaded that stepping in to rescue his former club from their current difficulties represents the most romantic of all footballing tales.Reflecting in 2018 on how Liverpool persuaded him to make the switch to England, the 58-year-old said: "I love the history."I really am a football romantic.

When they told me about the problems they had I thought, 'OK, yeah, I am probably the really right manager for that club'."I had talks with other clubs and they didn't sound like a football club. And I thought, 'Wow, that's not the game I love.'"Since departing Anfield, Klopp has also made clear he would not take charge of another English club.

Nevertheless, he stopped short of completely dismissing the prospect of a return to the Reds at some stage in the future.Speaking in 2024, he added: "What I know definitely – I will never, ever manage a different club in England than Liverpool, 100 per cent.
