Marcello Lippi Could be next Man U Manager
-
It is reported that Marcello Lippi is being lined up to join Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson is rumoured to have earmarked the veteran tactician as a possible successor, for when he is ready to quit The Red Devils, so the role that he will be offered is not altogether clear.
Italy boss Lippi has told friends he will quit after SundayÂ’s World Cup final. He is now being linked with a role alongside Old Trafford chief Fergie. And that could see him eventually succeed the Scot.
Fergie is a long-standing friend and huge admirer of the former Juventus manager. Ferguson, 64, is expected to relinquish the reins after 20 years in charge at the end of the coming season.
Italian sources believe Lippi, 58, could either work in tandem with the United supremo or under him - with Fergie promoted to general manager.
Possible? -
