“At 58 years old, which suggests I might decide in a few years, I don’t know. Do I have to make the decision today? If so, I wouldn't return. Luckily, I don’t have to do that. I can just see what the future brings.”

What Would Lure Him Back?

Questioned regarding the specific conditions would have to unfold to bring him back to the dugout, he confessed he isn't eager to such a return. “I don’t even know exactly, I love what I do right now,” he stated. “No longing for management; I don’t miss standing in the rain for lengthy sessions; I'm glad to skip interviews repeatedly each week or constant media duties a week.

“The locker room isn't missed per se, yet sharing a meal with the players talking freely, that’s nice. Success was frequent thus frequently great spirits in the building. I can still hear the captain's chuckle vividly recalled as an instance.”

Commending Arne Slot

“[Liverpool have] a phenomenal forward like Florian Wirtz, doubters will be silenced if spoken against. An outstanding player. Ekitike, superb talent. It’s a really good well-judged squad. Fans shouldn't fret about Liverpool, they'll bounce back.”

Heartfelt Words for the Late Forward

“Can you substitute somebody like Diogo? This isn't just regarding the player himself, it’s the guy he was. I struggle to conceive the squad without him in it. I still cannot speak properly on this topic. It was an incredible shock for the entire squad also. Not a single person would cite it as an excuse though it's a fact. Entering the changing area which he filled completely. Dealing with that individually is challenging. Overwhelming.”
