With Ottmar Hitzfeld set to leave the German giants in June, Marcelo Lippi is very much a contender to take over at the Allianz-Arena...
La Stampa reports that Marcelo Lippi is being heavily linked with the soon-to-be-vacant Bayern Munich post. With the Germna outfit set to return to Champions League football next season, and with Ottmar Hitzfeld all but guaranteed to leave in June, the door is open for a new top-level appointment, and World Cup-winner Lippi could be the man. Lippi is thought to hold the interest of the likes of club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who admires the former Juventus and Italy boss' cautious but effective approach to the game. Indeed, both also share a history of being involved at Internazionale. Furthermore, Bayern have experience of Italian managers as they formerly operated under Giovanni Trapattoni, and of Italian players with Luca Toni currently leading the line. However, before making a formal approach, the club must seek a way around the language barrier. Lippi has previously expressed his reluctance to coach in a country in which he does not know the language, such as England or Germany. But with the major Italian clubs currently looking unlikely to sack their bosses, and Roberto Donadoni being in situ with the Azzurri until at least July, this could tempt Lippi all the same.
