Marcello Lippi brings end to glittering career after winning Chinese Super League with Guangzhou Evergrande "It is my last match as a head coach for the club," Lippi told reporters after Guangzhou secured the title with a 1-1 draw at Shandong Luneng. Guangzhou Evergrande will have a new coach next season. I will be 67 years old in the near future, and I do not want to be the head coach any more; but I will be in charge of technical staff as a member of the coaching team. At Guangzhou, he won the league and cup double in his first campaign before leading them to another league title plus the Asian Champions League last season. Fabio Cannavaro, the man who captained Lippi's Italy to the World Cup in 2006, is hotly tipped to replace his former national coach at Guangzhou. Lippi announced his move after Guangzhou clinched their fourth successive Chinese Super League title on the final day of the season Sunday with a 1-1 draw at Shandong Luneng. The 41-year-old had a glittering career at Parma, Juventus and Real Madrid and won the world player of the year award in 2006. He is currently on the coaching staff at Al-Ahli in the UAE.
