Lippi won't be Chelsea boss

Marcello Lippi has ruled out a move to Chelsea as their new trainer, as he concerned that he knows very little English. The Italian had been linked as Avram Grant's potential successor at the club.

The former Juventus boss is now believed to be happy without a job after leading Italy to victory in the 2006 World Cup.

“No, no, no. I will not be Chelsea's trainer,” replied Lippi when asked about the position by The Sun.

“It is absolutely fundamental that a coach speaks with his players and I cannot, because I do not speak English.”
