Squad Explanation
-- This meant to be the all-time team for Marcello Lippi's entire club career, but outside of his career with Juventus, he only won trophies with Guangzhou Evergrande in China. It turned out that every players selected here played for him at Juventus. This team actually became Marcello Lippi's All-Time Team with Juventus.
-- Lippi's greatest achievement was perhaps winning the World Cup in 2006. This blog is not about his national team players. However, a number of his players on the World Cup winning team also played under him at the club level (Juventus). They are Angelo Peruzzi, Filippo Inzaghi, Alessandro Del Piero, Mauro Camoranesi, Gianluca Zambrotta and Angelo Peruzzi. Their World Cup performance was not considered for this blog.
-- Lippi only had two starting goalkeepers while at Juventus so the third keeper selection was difficult to select. Michelangelo Rampulla was a long-term backup keeper who was a part of many winning teams in Turin. He also followed Lippi as his coaching staff after he retired from playing. I took him based upon his relationship with Lippi.
-- Moreno Torricelli was one of my favourite players. He was a player who played with his heart. I took him ahead Javier Zanetti who played for Lippi with Inter Milan. Lippi only spent a season there.
-- Ciro Ferrara followed Lippi from Napoli to Juventus. He was also one of Lippi's best defenders. He was the only player selected who played for Lippi outside of Juventus.
-- By reputation, Pietro Vierchowod is better than some of the players selected, but he only played one season with Lippi. He won the Champions League in 1996, but I preferred other backs who played longer with Lippi. Instead, I took Igor Tudor and Mark Iuliano.
-- Roberto Baggio spent one season playing with Lippi, and Lippi started to phrase out Baggio. The pair would later reunite at Inter Milan. I only put him on the Honorable Mention.
-- Christian Vieri only played a single season with him.
-- Ronaldo also played for him with Inter Milan during the 1999-2000 season. That season, Ronaldo ruptured a tendon in his knee in the first half of the season. And then, he suffered his infamous and serious injury in his comeback during the Final of Coppa Italia in April, 2000. So he did not play much under him.
-- The last spot was between Paulo Sousa and Vladimir Jugović. Both players played at the same time for two seasons. Each started in a Champions League Final. Sousa seemed to be rated higher at Juventus. So I took him.
-- Alessio Tacchinardi was selected ahead of both Paulo Sousa and Vladimir Jugović because he had played in both of Lippi's stints with Juventus.
-- Paulinho was symbolic selection for Lippi's time with Guangzhou Evergrande in China. Lippi's most successful career outside Juventus was over there. He made my honourable mention.
