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.

@han ..

It's clear u don't seem to be quit fond of Lippi .. That is ok .. Look for Juve games since 94 .. If that's out dated, then 2001.. U'll know what I'm talking about (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

The way he played his team to the final (I'm not counting how they played against France) .. Just the route to the Final was enough for anyone to recognize, Marcello Lippi took Italy to the Final. Now wether u like him or not, he did what Rijkaard, Mourinho, Carlo, Hednik .. All couldnt  do (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

TBH, I wouldn't mind Carlo staying, that is, IF he can get the 4th spot and try to go for the CL Final ... I'd be more than happy, but if he fails at both those targets .. Then my friend, all sentiments aside .. He will be replaced, I don't think Milan will go four seasons dry ! You could give reasons as to the team is old, no transfers, Tata ti tata ta .. But the truth is Mourinho, Lippi .. I don't care, just someone with new ideas

I wasn't talking about 4th spot, because if he doesn't get us in that position by the end of the season, then for sure he is out. I was mentioning Silverware, as in actually winning it. You think this Milan can compete with Chelsea and Barca?? Our defence can't even handle Cagliari and Palermo let alone Chelsea and Barca's attack.

As I said I never had any problems with Lippi, that is until he coached a team I supported. I never agreed with his formations or tactics during a games and sometimes even the players themselves criticised that they didn't know what role they where playing in and what to do. Mainly because of his constant changes because of his indecision of what formation will ACTUALLY work and he can stivk with for the entire tournament

That's how u win competitions (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Surely a coach of his calibure cant be questioned until he fails to deliver .. Did he fail ?! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

But ofcourse we cant, again look at the injury table !! Mainly, Sergio is out .. He was/is our rapid left back (dst .. dont (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ) .. Nesta ?? Dida ?? .. Well there u have it, but with transfer window right around the corner, Carlo has another shot at getting to his minimal goal ..

IF he doesn't, then there is little, if not, NO say in it for us who will coach Milan ..

Out of a couple of top notch coachs, we have Mourinho and Lippi I see as our next coachs .. Mourinho, bcz of his success w/ porto and Lippi cuz I'm tiered of reiterating his past achievments ..
