Not going to happen, at least not for the next two seasons. Lippi just signed a contract extension about a month or so ago.
Anything is possible with the $$$ Real Madrid throws around ,but I don't think so. meanwhile Real Madrid does its best NY Mets imitation.
Your are speaking about a team that have won 9 Champions leagues, 3 in the last 5 years. And 3 Intercontinental cups, 2 in the last five years. And 28 ligas. Tell me, how many campion leagues has won the juventus in the last five years? Maybe zero? And intercontinental cups? Maybe Zero?. Another question, are there another team with more CL or more Intercontinental cups than the Real Madrid? Maybe.........none!!!. I don't know the numbers of the NY mets but if they have the same numbers than the Real Madrid they must be the best team in all the history of its sport.
*yawn* And I can ask any question to make Juventus look better. How many Champions League finals will Real play in in 2003? Huh?? HUH?
yes. real madrid is a great team and i don't think you need to push the panic button by letting del bosque go. i think his even temperament has done your club a big favor so far and i've been impressed. as for your tribute to real madrid and how it has made real a better team than juventus historically, i'm not sure if i necessarily agree. with the risk of comparing apples to oranges, i want to say that Serie A has been the very best football league in the world for a long time where best players played out their prime years, maradona, platini, mattheaus, and the fabulous dutch trio (van basten, guillit, and rikkard), not to mention a horde of great italian players. also, the Serie A has been more evenly matched than perhaps any other league although La Liga has been increasingly so in recent years. just because you're juventus, milans, or teams in roma, the scudetto will not be handed to you in a silver platter. they fully expect to be beaten by teams at the other end year in and year out. on the european front, italian teams have been rather self-absorbed, considering the scudetto as being more important above all else, including their own fans. but the great inter milan teams of the 60's, AC milan of the late 80s and upto mid 90s and juventus since have made their marks as have real and barcelona over the years. but i admit i've been irked by juventus' somewhat indifferent attitude toward the european trophies and more success by its rival AC milan. lippi is a great coach and he and juventus are a great match. juve showcases potent offense, solid midfield, and defenders of great inidividual skills (trademark of italian teams although i'm not a big fan of catennacio). juve is the most balanced team and can also play great offense. real would've lifted the trophy this year if it weren't for juve and the second leg in turin was a defeat as comprehensive as any i've seen. and i'm sure this won't be the last time we'll be fighting in this competition. i wouldn't want to see lippi go to any other team, be it real madrid or manchester united. juve was better matched against real than manchester united this year, as real was against manchester. i hope i didn't open a can of worms but this is my take on this matter.
