Marcello Lippi tips A.C Milan and Napoli to win the Scudetto next season: Serie A news
Former Italian national team manager, Marcello Lippi, believes A.C Milan and Napoli are favourites to win the 2011/12 Serie A title.
Lippi believes that Milan and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 have the strength and balance in their squad to win the league. Walter Mazzarri and Massimiliano Allegri have been very busy in the transfer market so far and have added some new faces to their
squad.
Talking to the reporters Lippi said, "Massimiliano Allegri and Walter Mazzarri have the right experience and a solid group. I believe that Milan and Napoli will start off as favourites for the Scudetto. But, of course the market
will play its part too."
"I have been close to Juventus before. But, I think with Conte the club have made the right choice. As for me? I hope to return in October."
The Italian world cup winning manager believes that his former employers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan and Juventus do not have the winning combination to challenge for trophies next season.
The 63-year-old added that both Inter and Juve are in the process of reshuffling the team and they might lack consistency in the campaign. Inter Milan have lost their ground since winning the Treble in the 2009/10 season. The Nerazzurri
have never looked like the same threatening force since the departure of Jose Mourinho to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Real-c30728 Madrid.
Inter had a poor start to the previous campaign under Rafael Benitez but they finally managed to finish second in the league when http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 took over the managerial duties in the later part of the season.
On the other hand, Juventus have struggled since their relegation from the Serie A due to Calciopoli scandal. The Old Lady have failed to finish in the top four for the past three seasons and they even missed out on UEFA Europa
League this time around.
Milan will defend their title after winning the 2010/11 Serie A and ending a seven year drought. Napoli qualified for the UEFA Champions League after a long wait of 21 years and finished third on the league table.
