Vladimir Smicer believes Jurgen Klopp could yet return to management at a leading European club.

However, the former Liverpool player acknowledges he would never manage another English side besides the Reds. Klopp, 58, recently came back to Anfield as an LFC Foundation ambassador, describing it as a "very special experience." Alongside that role, Klopp works as Red Bull's head of global soccer, a position he assumed at the start of last year, six months after departing Liverpool.

Speaking of the Reds, they could be on the lookout for a new head coach later this year, with current boss Arne Slot struggling. Slot and his players suffered another blow on Saturday, as they were humiliated 4-0 by Manchester City in the FA Cup.

Klopp has not gone back into coaching since leaving Anfield. Smicer, though, hasn't ruled out a comeback.

Speaking to BetVictor after participating in the LFC Foundation charity match, he said: "Jurgen Klopp at another major European club, it's possible, it's possible because, for me, he's still a very young coach.

"And a very, very good one, I think one of the best ever coaches in football. So it wouldn't surprise me if any clubs want him to sign, that's for sure.

"It's just fantastic that his commitment to Liverpool is unbelievable, and, as he said, in England, he will never manage a different club than Liverpool.

"Abroad, we'll see, but so far, I think he's happy, he's enjoying his time.

"It was just unbelievable that he came out for the LFC Foundation to help the cause, help raise the money for the people in need; he's a great man."

Following the charity match, Klopp remarked that he "enjoyed every second."

The club's legendary former manager explained: "My role was definitely not to have a lot of words; I was here for the foundation and to be part of a really special experience.

"For me, a very special experience after a while – being around, being that close, seeing all the Liverpool lads and then seeing the Dortmund lads as well.

"That was like 80 percent of my players. You don't meet very often, and to have them all together in one room, it's really cool.

"It was really, really, really nice, and the people suck it in. It's just so nice to see all the boys playing – but I think Thiago alone was worth the ticket!"
