Lippi, who has had two spells in charge of Juve, has been mentioned as a possible replacement for under-fire coach Luigi Del Neri.

"I want to coach for another two or three years," said the 62-year-old Lippi. "If the right project comes along then I will consider it but I can confirm that I will not coach any more in Italy, not even if Juve called me.

"I left Turin seven years ago and each time the team has problems my name comes up. This makes me happy because it means that during my time there, I did well and the fans appreciate me. It's true that in the past I've had contacts to return."

During his time at the helm of Juve, Lippi won five league titles, one Coppa Italia, a Champions League and a European Super Cup.

Lippi, who steered Italy to glory in 2006, has been out of work since the Azzurri were eliminated from last summer's World Cup as holders in the group stage.

Juve are 11 points behind fourth-place Udinese with nine games remaining.
