It is reported that Marcello Lippi is being lined up to join
Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson is rumoured to have earmarked the veteran
tactician as a possible successor, for when he is ready to quit The
Red Devils, so the role that he will be offered is not altogether
clear.
Italy boss Lippi has told friends he will quit after Sundays World
Cup final. He is now being linked with a role alongside Old
Trafford chief Fergie. And that could see him eventually succeed
the Scot.
Fergie is a long-standing friend and huge admirer of the former
Juventus manager. Ferguson, 64, is expected to relinquish the reins
after 20 years in charge at the end of the coming season.
Italian sources believe Lippi, 58, could either work in tandem with
the United supremo or under him - with Fergie promoted to general
manager.
Possible?
