A deal for July 2007 has already been sealed, but if the current difficulties persist the ex-Azzurri coach could come by January.
Marcello Lippi is preparing his big return to the world of football, according to Corriere dello Sport. After a period of deserved rest, he might be forced to make an anticipated return to a football bench, in case AC Milan decide to call time on Carlo Ancelotti's period.
The change of the guard might take place by January, or by early February at the latest, if the current Milan coach should fail to turn the tide by that time. Ancelotti risks losing control of the team, which is torn apart by internal problems. Even though Lippi is not keen to take on a team with the season well underway, he might be stimulated by the idea of taking charge of a team still in the race for the Champions League.
It's true that Lippi would like to build up some credit abroad as well by guiding a team in the Primera Liga or the Premiership, but the attractive power of Milan is still very strong. All the more for having to build an almost entirely new team and bind his name to a new cycle of success.
