No Juventus return for Marcello Lippi
Table of Contents
Italy coach Marcello Lippi has dismissed speculation that he might return to his old club Juventus after next year's World Cup in South Africa.
Lippi has continually been linked with a return to the Bianconeri, who he led to five Serie A titles and one Champions League success during two spells at the helm.
But the 61-year-old insists he has no intention of going back to the club after World Cup 2010.
"I'm not going back to Juventus, neither as coach nor as a technical director," he said during a sporting press congress in Milan. "Whatever anyone says, it's not true. I'm not going back to Juve.
"The only truth is that I went to lunch with (Juve general manager Jean-Claude) Blanc just as I go to lunch with (AC Milan vice-president Adriano) Galliani, with the Lazio president (Claudio Lotito) and with (AS Roma general manager) Bruno Conti.
"I'm the coach of the national team and I'm thinking exclusively about that."
