Marcello Lippi - Italy
You cannot think about a World Cup without thinking about Italy. In the same order, you cannot talk about world class national team coaches without mentioning Marcello Lippi’s name. The 2006 World Cup winning manager has made the ultimate promise of defending Italy’s colors. After retiring in style following the Azzurri’s Germany 2006 triumph, Marcello Lippi returned to his managerial post in 2008.He has been applauded for securing Italy's national football team with an automatic spot in the finals of the 2010 World Cup. But the former Juventus and Inter Milan boss is also yet to prove his point on South Africa’s soil. Bluntly, Italy were disastrous at the 2009 Confederations Cup where they participated as World Cup winners representatives. Marcello Lippi is renowned for his calm attitude but it doesn't mean that he doesn't communicate his ideas to his players and voice his answers through results. Playing mind games may not be part of his hobbies; in fact, he has his unique way of leading a team.
