Toni: Lippi is the right man Friday 11 July, 2008
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Azzurri marksman Luca Toni has faith that Marcello Lippi will lead Italy back to winning ways.
The Viareggio native led Italy to World Cup glory in the summer of 2006, but his successor Roberto Donadoni was unable to extend the golden era.
After a miserable Euro 2008, Lippi is back at the helm and Toni thinks he can reverse La Nazionale’s fortunes.
“There’s lots of pressure, but he is the right choice and he will take things forward,” the Bayern Munich star said on Sport Sera.
“What went wrong at Euro 2008? We got off to a really bad start and we ran into a side that were on great form at the time.
“We turned things around well to get through the first round and we deserved to qualify for the knockout stages, but Spain were worthy winners of the competition.”
Lippi’s second coming begins with a friendly against Austria in France on August 20.
