Renowned Italian tactician Marcelo Lippi rejected a move to Tottenham due to language barriers, revealing a close call during his coaching days at Juventus.
Despite tempting offers from Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, Lippi, a legendary figure with 13 major honors at Juventus and a 2006 World Cup triumph with Italy, chose to stay loyal to Turin.
Reflecting on the opportunity, he mentioned being contacted through his son but cited a profound love for Juventus akin to Ferguson’s connection with Manchester United. Lippi’s remarkable career, marked by Serie A triumphs and historic achievements, stands as a testament to his enduring legacy in football.
