Career
Playing career
In a professional career as a midfielder that started in 1969, Lippi spent most of his playing years with Sampdoria, where he played consecutively from 1969 to 1980, except for a year loan at Serie C side Savona. Unione Calcio Sampdoria (commonly nicknamed Blucerchiati, blue-ringed is a football club based in Genoa, Italy. Savona 1907 Foot-Ball Club is an Italian football club located in Savona, Liguria. In 1980 he joined Pistoiese, being part of the arancioni 's only Serie A campaign in history. Associazione Calcio Pistoiese is an Italian football club based in Pistoia, Tuscany.
Coaching career
Lippi retired from active football in 1982, at the age of 34, to pursue a coaching career. He consequently became a coach with the Sampdoria youth teams, and, after various stints in Italy's lower divisions, became a head coach in Serie A in 1989 with Cesena. Serie A (officially known as the Lega Calcio Serie A TIM for Sponsorship reasons is a professional league competition for football clubs located Associazione Calcio Cesena is a football club based in Cesena, Emilia-Romagna. Lippi then moved on to Lucchese and Atalanta. Atalanta Bergamasca Calcio, commonly known as just Atalanta, Atalanta Bergamo or the abbreviation Atalanta BC, is an Italian football The turning point for Lippi came in the 1993–94 season when he led Napoli to a place in the UEFA Cup.

The achievement was all the more remarkable given the financial turmoil of a club still basking in the past triumphs inspired by Diego Maradona.
Lippi was now a managerial target for the top clubs with Juventus winning the race to secure his services. He won the Serie A title in his first season with a team that included Gianluca Vialli and Ciro Ferrara, a player he had coached at Napoli and who later acted as his assistant with the Azzurri. Gianluca Vialli (born July 9, 1964 in Cremona) is a retired Italian football Striker and manager Ciro Ferrara (born February 11, 1967) is an Italian former football defender, who spent most of his career at Juventus. The trophies began to flow thick and fast, including the UEFA Champions League in 1996.
After five highly successful seasons at Juventus, Lippi moved to Internazionale in 1999, but was sacked after the first 2000–01 matchday after having faced a lot of criticism due to his poor results in his previous season with the Nerazzurri.

Despite never having played for Italy at senior level, Lippi gained a wealth of experience over the years playing in his country’s top flight as a central defender for Sampdoria. His rise to the top of the managerial tree also began at the Genoese club where he started as a youth-team coach.
Italy coach Marcello Lippi was something of an exception at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. The 2006 FIFA World Cup was the 18th instance of the FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international football world championship tournament Unlike most of his counterparts, the Tuscan-born coach had only ever worked in his country of birth.
Lippi is not bound by a rigid tactical approach. He earns the respect of his players thanks to this flexibility as well as his own personal charisma and sincerity.
Italy national team
Lippi was appointed at the helm of the Italian national team on July 2004, following a disappointing Euro 2004 campaign by Giovanni Trapattoni. The 2004 UEFA European Football Championship (or just Euro 2004) was the twelfth edition of the UEFA European Football Championship, a quadrennial football Giovanni Trapattoni (born March 17, 1939 in Cusano Milanino, Province of Milan) is an Italian football coach considered The Azzurri secured their passage to the FIFA World Cup finals with relative ease and subsequent victories such as the 3-1 victory over the Netherlands and a 4–1 win over Germany in friendly matches, which raised expectations considerably. The Netherlands national football team is the national football team of the Netherlands and is controlled by the Royal Netherlands Football Association The German national football team (Die deutsche Fußballnationalmannschaft From 1950 to 1990 the team was also informally called West Germany in English as since Explosion of the 2006 Serie A scandal (Calciopoli) during the late weeks of the 2005–06 season however lowered such expectations and raised critics towards the whole Italian football people, including Lippi, blamed because of his long-standing ties and previous history with Juventus. The 2006 Italian football scandal (Italian more common names Calciopoli or Moggiopoli, sometimes referred to as Calciocaos) involved Italy 's Scudetto winner and match-fixing scandal The 29th scudetto originally won by Juventus F In any case, Lippi opted to ignore such critics and instead looked after to consolidate the team spirit.
In the FIFA World Cup 2006 Marcello Lippi led Italy all the way to the final, where they beat France 5-3 in a penalty shoot-out after a 1-1 draw. The French national football team represents the nation of France in international football.
After winning the World Cup Lippi stated that this was his "most satisfying moment as a coach", even after winning the Intercontinental Cup and the UEFA Champions League with Juventus. The European/South American Cup, commonly referred to as the Intercontinental Cup or Toyota Cup, was a football competition endorsed by See also List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winners The UEFA Champions League, which evolved from the European Champion Clubs' Cup is a seasonal club [3]
His 2006 victory was praised as reminiscent of FIFA World Cup 1982's triumph, as coach Enzo Bearzot then faced lots of criticisms as well, including a recent matchfixing scandal (Totonero) which involved Paolo Rossi, who later became the World Cup topscorer and was called-up despite media opposition due to his Totonero involvement.

Three days after the final, Lippi did not renew his expiring contract with the Italian Football Federation, declared his desire for a sabbatical, and left his office as the coach of the Italian national team. The Italian Football Federation (Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio FIGC) also known as Federcalcio, is the governing body of football in Italy He was succeeded by Roberto Donadoni.

He later denied interest in Mexico managership, and allegedly refused to replace Didier Deschamps at Juventus.

Recently the Italian media has been reporting that Lippi is the top candidate to take over the national team job after Euro 2008 if Roberto Donadoni doesn't renew his contract. [5]
