Lippi wants Barcelona

07 January 2008 - 17:33

Marcello Lippi has revealed that he is ready to return to football. The Italian last coached the international team to World Cup glory, but has since been out of the limelight. Lippi admitted Juventus has spoken to him, but Lippi admitted he would love to join Barcelona.

  • Chelsea join Liverpool & Man Utd in race to sign 26yo
  • Barcelona identify Arsenal midfielder as key transfer target

  • "I am ready to return to coach,” Lippi declared.



    “I've refused many offers, including that of Juve. At the time I wasn't ready.



    “I think I may have stayed out too long. It was a mistake, but I am not rusty.”



    Frank Rijkaard has found his role at Barcelona under threat and the news that Lippi could be ready for a move to the club.



    "I want to coach a club that is built on young players, such as Fiorentina or foreign teams like Barcelona."
