Marcello Romeo Lippi (born April 12, 1948 in Viareggio (LU) , Italy ) is a former Italian soccer player and today's soccer coach .

As a coach he was Italian champion five times and won the Champions League with Juventus Turin in 1995/96 . In 2006 he led the Italian national soccer team to the world championship title in Germany .

Player career

Marcello Lippi played football professionally, a. a. as Libero at Sampdoria Genua (1969 to 1980) and at Savona 1907 FBC , AC Pistoiese and AS Lucchese Libertas .

Club coach

Today the trainer Lippi is one of the most sought-after trainers in the world. His career began in 1982 as a youth coach at Sampdoria Genoa. His first position on a professional team was at the US Città di Pontedera in the C2 series (1985-1986). Marcello Lippi then trained with AC Siena (1986–1987), Pistoiese (1987–1988), Carrarese (1988–1989), AC Cesena (1989–1991), Lucchese (1991–1992), Atalanta Bergamo (1992–1993) and Napoli (1993-1994) with which it sixth in the series A finished.

Success with Juventus Turin

In 1994 he was hired by Juventus Turin as a coach. There he won three Italian championships , a Coppa Italia , two Italian Supercups , a Champions League , a European Supercup and a World Cup in his first term of office from (1994 to 1999) , and he also led Juve to the final of the Champions League two more times, the one lost, however. In the 1998/99 season, many regular players (including Alessandro Del Piero and Filippo Inzaghi ) were injured , so the high expectations were not met, which prompted Lippi to voluntarily resign during the season.

For the 1999/2000 season Marcello Lippi was coach at Inter Milan . Here he no longer built on the successes at Juventus, after the first season he asked for his contract to be terminated. Massimo Moratti, the club's president, refused, but dismissed him after the first championship game of the new season.

In summer 2001, Lippi returned to Juventus Turin and celebrated the championship right after the season. The following season he defended the title. Lippi's team also won two Italian Supercups and reached the Champions League final again in 2002/03, but lost on penalties against AC Milan . After a rather disappointing 2003/04 season, his contract was not renewed.

On May 17, 2012 it was announced that Lippi would train the Chinese first division team Guangzhou Evergrande in the future. He received a three-year contract and, according to media reports, should earn ten million euros per season. In 2014 he extended the contract for another three years until the end of 2017; In February 2015 he resigned as a coach.

National coach

On July 16, 2004 Marcello Lippi was coach of the Italian national soccer team , which he led to the 2006 world championship . Before that, however, the path for Lippi in the national team was rather mixed: Although he had reached the goal of qualifying for the World Cup, but with narrow wins and despite a 0-1 defeat in Slovenia . The teams coached by Lippi then impressed with victories in friendly matches against Russia (2-0), the Netherlands (3-1) and Germany (4-1). These confirmed that the young players like Daniele De Rossi and Alberto Gilardino , whom Lippi had built into the team, were becoming more and more integrated. From October 2004 to the final on July 9, 2006, he remained unbeaten with Italy in 25 international matches with 16 wins and nine draws. After this triumph he resigned from his position as national coach of Italy on July 12, 2006. Lippi was the first coach to become world champion and Champions League winner in his coaching career.

On June 24, 2008 it was announced that Lippi would be coach of the Italian national soccer team again. He succeeded Roberto Donadoni , who was given leave of absence after the Azzurri left the quarterfinals of the European Football Championship in 2008 . His first game, against Austria on August 20, 2008 , ended 2-2.

With a 1-1 draw in the friendly against Greece on November 20, 2008, the national team remained undefeated for the 31st time in a row, if you only look at Lippi's two terms in office. With this, Lippi set the world record at the time.

This record was broken by Spain during the 2009 Confederations Cup . The Selección remained without defeat in 35 games in a row until the semi-final defeat against the United States . Although the Squadra Azzurra started the tournament with a 3-1 win over the USA, the world champions could not meet expectations and, after defeats against Egypt and Brazil , were eliminated from the tournament in the group stage.

The qualification for the Soccer World Cup 2010 was secured unbeaten, the Italians could show seven wins and three draws in ten games. At the Soccer World Cup 2010 itself, however, Italy was eliminated after two draws and a 2-3 defeat against Slovakia in the last game in the preliminary round. Marcello Lippi took full responsibility for this and announced his resignation at the subsequent press conference.

Game system

Lippi played a 4-4-1-1 system with Italy at the 2006 World Cup . The team did not concede a single goal from the game in the entire tournament (the two goals conceded were an own goal and a penalty).
