Klopp said he will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season and withdraw from his coaching position. He is currently the head of global football at Red Bull.

Nevertheless, the 58-year-old has been associated with senior positions such as the German national team.

It takes something very special to make Klopp comeback, and in order to win the votes to become Benfica's new chairman, Ristovao Carvalho said he could convince the Liverpool legend to become their head coach. Jose Mourinho was confirmed as the club's new head coach on Thursday after Bruno Rah was fired, but the club has a clause that stipulates that the Chelsea legend can leave within 10 days of the end of the 2025/26 season.

This may open the door for Klopp to join Benfica before the 2026/27 season, Carvalho claimed that the German expressed his desire to coach Benfica, which "touched his heart" and that Benfica could win the Champions League under his leadership.

"I only see one person, if I win the election, I think I will, the first thing I have to do is to open the half-open door immediately," he told DesportoaoMinuto.

My team has knocked on the door and expressed their thoughts, but the door is still half open. That's the end of things, because now is not the time.

"I will sit down and talk to Jurgen Klopp next week to convince him that I have a plan to coach Benfica and win the Champions League. I believe I will convince him."

Yes, the door is half open. Jurgen Klopp is the only coach I have ever met who has said something that touched my heart: "I want to coach Benfica." He did say that. But it won't work now. In a project that requires continuity and security, with the right people and the right team, he is the best coach of my project.

Especially because he embodies the kind of traits that like to create and execute projects. He would be an inspiring person. I believe that in five or six years, he will lead us to win the 'Big Ear' award.

This is my goal, I always have lofty ambitions. If you can't choose Jurgen Klopp, choose a coach of the same level. I have no doubt about this. "The key to winning the Champions League is the motivation of the coach. It is not only to motivate the team, but also to motivate the fans. Because Benfica is very large and the pressure is also great."

"Only a coach with such high recognition can be able to promote a project of this size and to motivate my team." And I promise that even if things don't go well, I won't abandon him." We have a lasting project. ”
