Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), are reportedly considering a dramatic move to bring Jurgen Klopp back to Anfield, just 18 months after his emotional departure.
The reports surfaced shortly after Arne Slot was dismissed following an emergency board meeting on Sunday night. Sources close to the club suggest that FSG’s patience has worn thin amid Liverpool’s disappointing form and growing unrest among both players and supporters.
Slot, who succeeded Klopp in May 2024, initially impressed by securing a top-four finish in his first season. However, the current campaign has been a stark contrast. Liverpool now languish in eighth place, trailing Premier League leaders Manchester City by 14 points. The 3-0 loss to City last weekend is believed to have been the final straw for the club’s hierarchy.
Insiders claim that Klopp has remained in close contact with senior figures at Liverpool and may be open to a temporary return — possibly until the end of the season. Should this happen, it would rank among football’s most remarkable comebacks, drawing parallels with Zinedine Zidane’s return to Real Madrid.
The news has ignited a wave of reaction from fans. Supporters gathered outside Anfield with banners reading “Bring Back Klopp” and “The Boss Belongs Home,” while social media buzzed with trending hashtags such as #KloppReturns and #ThankYouSlot.
Yet, not everyone is convinced. Some analysts warn that bringing Klopp back could complicate Liverpool’s long-term rebuild. Reports of tensions between Slot and the board over tactics and squad management already pointed to deeper structural issues that a short-term fix may not solve.
An official announcement is expected later today. If talks progress quickly, Jurgen Klopp could be back in the Anfield dugout as early as this weekend’s home fixture against Tottenham — a moment that could reignite the passion and intensity that once made Liverpool a force to be feared across Europe
