I’m On My Way Back – Lippi
Italian World Cup-winning coach Marcello Lippi is planning his return for the upcoming season, and he is confident that he will be sitting on an important bench this summer.
Lippi was present at the Alpine Skiing World Cup of Sestriere, where he spoke about what the future has in store for him.
“I’m returning soon to the bench because I have the desire to start again to build a common project with a group of players,” admitted the former Juventus coach.
“I want to feel certain extraordinary emotions again.”
The 'Italian Paul Newman' has not chosen his destination yet, but he is open to the idea of coaching abroad if the opportunity arrives.
“I did not chose a list of teams, it’s not so automatic, but I will accept if I’m offered an interesting program, in Italy or abroad," he said.
Lippi believes that Italy are the favourites for Euro 2008.
“We start off in the first row, not because we are world champions, but because of the morale value of the group.
“The success of the national team, clubs, coaches, players abroad, and the quality of Serie B all prove that Italian football is the best,” concluded Lippi.
