http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/nov16b.html Del Neri was supposed to be the eventual successor (that's the main reason the Chievo coach did not accept more economically rewarding offers to leave his present club last summer); didn't make mention of it before because i knew something like this could have happened i can find solace that at least Lippi will not replace Trapattoni as National Team coach,in fact Del Neri might be that guy
