Frustrated Milan Bosses Chasing Down Lippi - Report The 2-2 home draw against Bayern Munich has reportedly convinced the Milan bosses that looking beyond Carlo Ancelotti is the only way to make a return to top form, and World Cup winner Marcelo Lippi is now firmly on their radar.

Milan have made very heavy weather of securing fourth place in Serie A - securing an almost imperative Champions League spot for next season - and the San Siro disappointment against Bayern has helped the Rossoneri boardroom make up their minds once and for all, report Il Giornale.

Marcelo Lippi, Frank Rijkaard and Macro van Basten are the three candidates being considered, but the World Cup winning coach is the favourite, as much due to his superior experience, more so in Seire A, as the fact that he is a free agent.

The club's senior players - Italian internationals such as Andrea Pirlo, Rino Gattuso and Alessandro Nesta, who have all worked very closely with him - are also said to be backing his appointment.

Lippi himself is said to be open to the idea now, according to a source close to former Juventus coach.

Moreover, the report suggests that he agrees in principle with Milan's transfer philosophy for the summer, and is ready to keep most of the current members of the technical setup.

It is being understood that nothing short of winning the Champions League trophy this season will save Carlo Ancelotti his job.
