“At 58 years old, that means I might decide in a few years, it's uncertain. Is a decision required immediately? If so, I wouldn't return. Luckily, it's not necessary. I can just see what the future brings.”

Conditions for a Comeback

Pressed on which situations would need to occur to draw him back to management, he confessed he isn't eager to such a return. “It's unclear to me, I love what I do right now,” he said. “No longing for management; I don’t miss standing in the rain through long matches; I'm glad to skip media briefings multiple times weekly or having 10-12 interviews a week.

“I don’t miss the dressing room per se, but sitting in a restaurant with the team talking freely, that’s nice. With many victories thus frequently positive atmosphere around the place. I still have the captain's chuckle vividly recalled as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

Heartfelt Words for Diogo Jota

He shared movingly regarding the passing of the Portuguese star, whom he brought in during his tenure, along with the consequences on Liverpool. Jota was killed in a road accident alongside his brother this past summer.

“Can you substitute somebody like Diogo? It goes beyond his on-field talent, it's his character. I can’t imagine the team environment absent his presence. Putting it into words is tough regarding this. It was an incredible shock for the entire squad also. Not a single person will ever use it for poor performances but it is the situation. You walk in a dressing room where his spirit remains. Dealing with that on a personal level is not easy. Overwhelming.”
