How to rewrite this sentence to reported speech?

It all stays the same if you're reporting it before you go. The situation hasn't changed.
Also, the idea that you have to change tenders when you report speech is wrong. It depends on the situation, add you can see from your example.

The assistant said the manager could come back then.
This means the assistant said it is possible that the manager will come back.
If the assistant was sure that this will happen then use 'would' instead.
