World Cup winning coach Marcello Lippi said on Monday that he is eager to get back on the bench next yearin Italy or abroad, according to Italy's biggest dailies "Corrieredella Sera" ("Courier of Evening") and "La Repubblica" (Repubblic).
In interviews with the two dailies, Lippi indicated that he was tempted by two possibilities: a big foreign club, or "an Italian one that likes to groom home-grown talent, like Fiorentina."
Lippi hailed the recent appointment of his long-time club rival Fabio Capello as England coach.
"It's historic, a further recognition for Italy as world champions twice over, with the Azzurri and with Milan."
Lippi has been linked to Tottenham, Chelsea, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and AC Milan.
The 59-year-old Tuscan coach has been out of the game since stepping down as coach of the Azzurri following last summer's World Cup success in Germany.
Lippi is one of the most successful coaches of the modern era, having won five Italian championships during two spells at Juventus.
