Lippi: Arsenal Play The Best Football In Europe

World Cup-winning former Italy national Coach
Marcello Lippi says that Arsenal play the best football in Europe.


The Gunners have taken the Premiership by storm this campaign and are currently top of the Premiership, having still yet to lose in the league.

“The best football in Europe, in my opinion is played by Arsenal,” said Lippi.

“It was thought that without Henry the Gunners would not be able to perform but instead look…”

“The Spanish sides I like less, although at Real Madrid Casillas is always the best. At Barca, the exclusion of Ronaldinho shows that something is not right.”

Lippi has been out of the game since stepping down as Coach of the Italian national team following last summer’s World Cup success in Germany.

The Viareggio-born tactician turns 60 in April, and he has confirmed that he will definitely return to management next season.

“Next year I will return to the bench. That is 100 per cent,” he declared.

Lippi is one of the most successful coaches of the modern era having won five Italian championships during two spells at Juventus.

With the Bianconeri he also won a Champions League title, an Intercontinental Cup, a Coppa Italia, and a European Supercup.

He also finished as a runner-up in the Champions League on three occasions in 1997, 1998 and 2003, as well as losing a Uefa Cup final in 1995.


marcello lippi has always been my favourite coach since the last 06 wc. though many people loathe italy, i fully supported italy during last 06 wc. that was a nice compliment especially to my gunners.

ps: eat your heart out stew-g, fergie-ferg, lampions, and all the haters!
