Juve or Barca for Lippi
Tuesday 4 March, 2008
World Cup winning boss Marcello Lippi is being linked with jobs at Juventus and Barcelona.
The Tuscan trainer has been on a sabbatical since leading the Azzurri to a famous victory over France in Berlin 18 months ago and is not short of suitors.
Barcelona and Juventus, both embattled after losses at the weekend, are, according to Italian website Controcampo, trying to tempt the 59-year-old out of his self-imposed exile.
Frank Rijkaard’s Blaugrana are five points adrift of Liga leaders and bitter rivals Real Madrid.
The Dutchman’s tenure looks increasingly precarious as dressing room disputes, indifferent performances and problems off the pitch continue to undermine Barcelona’s current campaign.
Rijkaard’s own longing for a break could also be influential in bringing Lippi to the Camp Nou, although there is a group of directors on the Barcelona board who would prefer Jose Mourinho.
A deal with Juventus is seemingly more likely. The defeat against Fiorentina has sent alarm bells ringing throughout the Bianconeri’s offices in Corso Galileo Ferraris.
The Old Lady’s directors are expected to hold a meeting to examine the club’s present and its future after Claudio Ranieri’s poor start to 2008, where Juventus have lost two of their last three games.
Questions have been raised regarding Ranieri’s ability to manage such a big club while Lippi’s supporters have been keen to assert the former Inter Coach’s tactical ability and Juventinità.
Bianconeri President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli and director general Jean-Claude Blanc already attempted to lure Lippi back to Juve last summer after Didier Deschamps resigned.
However, Lippi rejected what would have been a third stint at the club. “I don’t feel like it at the moment,” he said. “In the future we will see.”
Lippi led Juventus from 1994 to 1999 and 2001 to 2004, a total of eight seasons in which he won everything in Italy, Europe and the world.
The Juve link comes just hours after Milan President Silvio Berlusconi felt the need to reassure Carlo Ancelotti that his job was safe yesterday after telling reporters of his great respect for Lippi.

Giovinco wants Juve chance
Monday 3 March, 2008
Azzurrini star Sebastian Giovinco has stressed his desire to return to Juventus this summer, as he continues to impress on loan at Empoli.
The diminutive playmaker has been heralded as a key foundation in the Azzurri’s future for years and has been superb in his maiden Serie A season.
There have been suggestions that Giovinco will be loaned out to another top-flight side this summer with Juve set to spend heavily in pre-season, but the 21-year-old is determined to feature for the Old Lady.
“I really want to go back to Turin and I am hoping that I will wear the Juventus shirt from June,” he disclosed to Gazzetta.it.
“I’m dreaming of getting the No 10 jersey, but that’s already taken, so I’d like the No 21 – to mark the age that I have just reached.
“I love all the No 10’s that Juve have had past and present – we are always talking about great champions. But I don’t feel inferior to anyone, especially in my generation.
“I’m not scared of competition in the future, as I know that I have to improve and I feel ready.”
Giovinco certainly isn’t lacking ambition and is clearly growing in confidence with each week on the big stage.
“My dream is to win a World Cup and a Ballon d’Or,” he declared.
“But for the short term, selection for Beijing is one of my objectives for this season as it would be an amazing experience.”
