Italian manager Marcello Lippi is reportedly set to quit the position at the end of the 2006 campaign.
Corriere dello Sport says Lippi is said to be almost certain to leave the position which he inherited from Giovanni Trapattoni in 2002. In that time he has enjoyed great success, with the Azzurri unbeaten in their last 20 matches.
The continued investigations into the "MoggiGate" scandal has led to Lippi's name being mentioned several times in alleged discussions, and it is this negativity plus the pressures of what must be one of the toughest national team jobs in the world which have taken their toll on the former Juventus manager.
One of the names already being linked to the position is that of former AC Milan boss Alberto Zaccheroni, who is also currently being linked with a move to Juventus.
