Marcello Lippi has emerged as an 11th hour contender to take the
Liverpool job - despite Roy Hodgson being on the point of agreeing
to take the Anfield hot-seat.
Reports from Italy suggest the former Azzuri coach, whose team
went out of the World Cup in miserable style last week, has become
the Reds' fall-back position should anything go wrong with their
move for Hodgson.
Fulham's manager is still expected to make the switch from
Craven Cottage as early as Thursday and work in tandem with his
friend Kenny Dalglish.
But with Fabio Capello's position as England manager now in
serious jeopardy, the Premier League giants see Lippi as their top
target in case Hodgson is persuaded to take the international
job.
