But Lippi, who has also won five Italian league titles and a Champions League trophy, said he was ready to make a return to coaching, but that it would not necessarily be in his native Italy.
“This year I’ve had many offers but I didn’t accept any of them because I had decided to have a year off,” Lippi told Radio Monte Carlo.
“Those that I will have for next season I will consider carefully and if there’s something interesting, like a country, we’ll see.”
“I prefer not to work in Italy any more, I’ve done what I needed to do. It’s difficult to enjoy yourself in Italy. If you lose two games, no-one enjoys themselves.”
“I prefer a national team but obviously if a club of a certain type makes an approach (then who knows).”
