Marcello Lippi resignation from the position of technical director of the Italian national team. The former blue coach, world champion in 2006, should have supported the future coach Giampiero Ventura in the post-Conte period, holding a supervisory role capable, in intention, of managing relations with the clubs and of creating a new school of federal technicians.
Lippi would have personally communicated his decision to federal president Carlo Tavecchio. The knot that has not been able to untie is that of the son David Lippifootball agent by profession. According to the current regulation for sports agent services (article 3 paragraph 2), anyone who has a family member with a federal role or with a club associated with the federation cannot carry out the activity of manager of football players.
Lippi and Tavecchio turned to the Federal Court of Appeal, which has not yet given a definite answer, until yesterday's meeting, in which the court's position was interlocutory. The former coach, who reached an understanding with Tavecchio over a month ago, blurted out: "I can't wait any longer, I can't be fooled".
“I'm very sorry – said the former coach-, because the idea of returning to the Federation as a coach was exciting for me. I think it was the right role. If someone had me in their sights, let him know that he was wrong because my story remains written; If someone had my son in their sights, I can't allow them to pay him a price that would be absurd to pay. This is why I decided to close the story, speaking with the president Tavecchio ".
