Marcello Lippi admits “I’m thinking about a return to China” as he can’t be Italy technical director.
The World Cup-winner was expected to be appointed to work with CT Giampiero Ventura, but can’t as his son, Davide, is an agent.
Having coached Guangzhou Evergrande, the ex-Juventus Coach returned to Italy in 2014, but now he’s considering a return to the Far East.
“I’m thinking about a return to China, it’s true,” Lippi confirmed to Corriere Fiorentina.

“Until a few weeks ago the outlook was different, I had a sort of pre-arrangement with the FIGC, but we all know how that turned out.
“I was good in China, it was inspiring. I might have found the right rhythm, three years of work and a year and a half of rest.”
