The former Italy boss, who steered the Azzurri to World Cup glory in 2006, is currently out of work.

The 63-year-old has been linked with several clubs in recent months.

Davide Lippi, his son and agent, told calciomercato.it: "The will to return to coach is there.

"But it needs to be an important project, a serious club.

"There are many proposals coming from the Premier League and from La Liga (Spain)."

As a club coach Lippi has won five Serie A titles, four Italian Super Cups, one Champions League title, one European Super Cup and one world club title.
