Lippi impressed by Milan
Wednesday 21 July, 2004
New Italy boss Marcello Lippi has named Milan as his favourites to win Lo Scudetto next season.
"They are the strongest side and the team to beat in the new campaign," said the former Juventus tactician.
"They have added strength to the squad over the summer and they are the reigning champions anyway."
Lippi made the statement on Wednesday as he started his tour of Serie A clubs with the Rossoneri.
"Out of respect, it was only right that I began here with Milan," he added. "I had to come here first."
Lippi is travelling around the country in the hope of picking up some ideas by visiting clubs in training.
The tactician was appointed as Azzurri boss just days after Giovanni Trapattoni’s side flopped at Euro 2004.
"We are still at an early organisational stage but it is my hope to get off to a good start," he continued.
"The national side hasn’t had the best of results in recent times and we must find some enthusiasm again.
"I think people can get excited by the national side thanks to these visits where I can exchange opinions with coaches and players."
