Italian soccer coach, formerly coach of the Juventus, one of the major Italian teams and a consistent winner.61-year-old Marcello Lippi is an expert at making changes that yield results, with no fewer than five of the 12 goals Italy registered at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany coming from substitutes. The man with more than an air of Paul Newman has won everything in his career, which is precisely why he called time on his first stint as Italy trainer on 12 July 2006, having clinched the global crown. After the Azzurri floundered at UEFA EURO 2008, however, he did not need much persuasion to return to the role, and he immediately set about rebuilding the defence, remodelling the midfield and trying out a fresh crop of forwards.Lippi started as a trainer in 1992, worked for Napoli in '93 and then signed with Juventus on 7/01/1994. Under his guidance, the team won the Italian Cup and European Cup each year from 1994 to 1999. In 1999, he quit his coaching position midway through the season. talian soccer coach, formerly coach of the Juventus, one of the major Italian teams and a consistent winner.61-year-old Marcello Lippi is an expert at making changes that yield results, with no fewer than five of the 12 goals Italy registered at the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany coming from substitutes.
