Marcello Lippi

Coach Chinese National Team

Marcello Lippi is the coach who led Italy to their fourth World Cup victory, in Germany in 2006.
He gave footballing history perhaps its most significant modern example of turning adversity into a successful final result.
Previously an excellent player in his own right and a successful coach (he won the Champions League with Juventus), Lippi is now engaged in another great challenge in managing China, after having won three successive championships with Guangzhou and also having triumphed in the AFC Champions League.
