So that means if then it\u2019s Liverpool \u2026 yeah. Theoretically it\u2019s possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Klopp added: \u201cI\u2019m 58, that means I could make the decision in a few years, I don\u2019t know. Do I have to make the decision today?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen I will not coach again. But thank God, I don\u2019t have to do that.
