The 53-year-old said he has no desire to work at another Italian team after his brief and unhappy spell with Inter Milan.

'I want to win something again with Juventus and then I will go and coach abroad because I don't want to sit on another team's bench in Italy,' Lippi told a news conference on Tuesday.

Lippi returned to Juventus in June for his second spell in charge at the Delle Alpi stadium.

During his first reign as coach, Juventus won three Italian championships and the 1996 European Cup, as well as the Italian Cup, European Supercup and Intercontinental Cup.

'I came back to Turin because Juventus has always stayed in my heart,' Lippi told the Italian media.

'Those past years are an irremovable part of my memory and my professional career.'

Lippi has so far struggled to recreate the success he found in his first spell with Juve, currently sixth in Serie A and seven points behind leaders Inter Milan.

And the Juve coach is well aware his past record will count for little unless his team are among the title contenders.

'I know very well that my stay at Juventus depends on results - if they don't come my stay will be short, which would happen anywhere,' said Lippi.

'If I can get the team back to the top in Italy and in Europe that will be good, otherwise this will be my last experience as a coach in Italy.'

Lippi left Juve in February 1999 and took over at Inter the following season.
