My Take
Marcello Lippi sits in a category of his own for me. The man who led Italy to the 2006 World Cup, born by the sea in Viareggio, transformed from player to a manager who took both Juventus and the national team to the summit. The white hair, the cigar, the folded arms on the bench, he is a portrait of authority. With a Hall of Fame induction and a state honor, his resume is beyond reproach. Born in 1948, an Aries, he combined unshakeable nerve with rare man-management. Add his later adventure coaching in China, and his winner's mentality is something I could discuss for hours.
