A deal for July 2007 has already been sealed, but if the current difficulties persist the ex National team coach could come by January.

Marcello Lippi is preparing his big return to the world of football. After a period of deserved rest, he might be forced to make an anticipated return to a football bench, in case Milan decide to call time on Ancelotti's period.

The change of the guard might take place by January, or by early February at the latest, if the current Milan coach should fail to turn the tide by that time. Ancelotti risks losing control of the team, which is torn apart by internal problems. Even though Lippi is not keen to take on a team with the season well underway, he might be stimulated by the idea of taking charge of a team still in the race for the Champions League.

The opportunity of guiding an assault to the Champions League. It's true that Lippi would like to build up some credit abroad as well by guiding a team in the Primera Liga or the Premiership, the attractive power of Milan is still very strong. All the more for having to build an almost entirely new team and bind his name to a new cycle of success.

You are amazing man (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The last WC was the coaches WC, actually every team was led by its coach, I don't remember I saw any player made an excellent WC! (Apart for Brasil's Zizou)
As for Lippi he is definitely a master mind, but I don't want him at Milan cause I think he is too defensive, Hiddink would be great for Milan!

Anyway I'll go for Carleto staying (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

That's what everyone keep telling me actaully (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

You think what he did against Austalia and the US is actaully a tactical mastermind of a plan?? Now forget about the send offs. But look at what subs he made and WHEN he made them.

Of course every team is lead by it's coach, but look at Italy during the last WC, you don't think that a player like Pirlo, Rino, Canna and Gigi didn't have any influence on how Italy played? Pirlo was the inspiration for that team, and if he had gotten injured Italy wouldn't have made it as far as they did. And I know it may seem like I'm giving Pirlo all the credit fo the win, but it's just a fact of how important he was, everyone was making a big fuss about Totti when in Reality he never even showed up, and the man everyone forget was the one that lead Italy to the title in tthe end.
And for me it will always just be, Lippi was in the right place at the right time for the WC win. Now I'm not telling anyone to think like me and I know some would disagree with me, but there are also a lot who would agree.

Hiddink would also be a good choice but he has just taken over the Russian NT, so I don't think that would happen.

btw, why can't we seem to agree on anything lately (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Against the U.S I'll put that on De Rossi's head, and how self confident the Italian were before the game. Against Australia I didn't watch the game, but from what I heard the red card on Materrr changed a lot!

Of course, those players had a lot to do, they are talented and world class players, but France also had talented and WC players, the same goes for Brazil, Portugal and Germany, but they didn't make it, and I think it was because they hadn't someone like Lippi, France is the best example, in the final they could won if they just put another forward, and Vieira injury was like a sign, The Italian were totally drawn but they won thanks to the French coach, the same goes for Brazil and Netherlands, I still remember VB on the bench thinking what to do before doing nothing!!!

Different vision, same goal!
