Jurgen Klopp hints at potential Liverpool return in future

Jurgen Klopp has opened the door to a possible return to Liverpool, saying it’s “theoretically possible” he could one day come back to the club he led for nearly a decade. The 58-year-old German stepped down as Reds manager in 2024 after nine successful years. He resigned due to exhaustion from the demands of top-level coaching. Earlier this year, he began a new role as Red Bull’s Global Head of Soccer, overseeing the company’s football network. Speaking on the Diary of a CEO podcast, Klopp admitted he remains deeply connected to Liverpool. “I said I would never coach a different team in England. So that means if I did return to England, then it’s Liverpool. Yeah, theoretically it’s possible,” he said. “I don’t know exactly, I love what I do right now. I don’t miss coaching, I do coach now, but just different. I don’t miss standing in the rain, two-and-a-half (to) three hours, I don’t miss going to press conferences three times a week, having 12 interviews a week, I don’t miss that, I don’t.”

MLS Prediction Today: Nashville vs Miami

The 2025 MLS season continues this weekend with another high-stakes fixture as Nashville SC host Lionel Messi and Javier Mascherano’s Inter Miami at Geodis Park on Saturday. Both teams are playoff-bound but will be eager to close out the regular season with momentum on their side. Betting Preview for Nashville SC vs Inter Miami Venue: Geodis Park, Nashville, Tennessee Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025 Time: 19:30 CST Teams: Nashville SC vs Inter Miami Odds (via 1XBet) Betting on Nashville SC Nashville SC enter this matchup sitting sixth in the Eastern Conference with 52 points from 33 games. It’s been a mixed campaign for Gary Smith’s side, marked by solid defensive structure but a lack of consistency in attack. Last weekend, the Coyotes were held to a 1-1 draw against CF Montréal, a result that summed up their frustrating recent form. Their issues in the final third have persisted all season, with the team averaging just 1.3 goals per game despite generating plenty of chances through their wide play. Betting on Inter Miami Inter Miami travel to Nashville in outstanding form. The Herons currently sit third in the Eastern Conference with 59 points, and their 4-0 demolition of Atlanta United last weekend was another statement of intent ahead of the playoffs. Under Javier Mascherano, Miami have become one of the most efficient attacking sides in the league, scoring 72 goals in 33 matches, the second-highest tally in MLS this season. That said, Miami’s road form has improved markedly in recent months, with four wins from their last six away fixtures.  MatchPlug Prediction for Nashville SC vs Inter Miami This matchup features two teams heading in opposite directions in terms of form. While Nashville’s resilience and home advantage cannot be discounted, Inter Miami’s attacking trio of Messi, Suárez, and Alba have been unplayable in recent weeks. Expect a competitive first half, but Inter Miami’s class in the final third should ultimately shine through in the second. Final Prediction: Inter Miami to Win
