Stuttering Juve have slipped to third in Serie A and will go without a trophy this season, prompting some fans to protest against coach Claudio Ranieri.

Lippi recently held a meeting with Juve bosses but said it was to discuss the national side.

"When I say I won't go back to Juve, I also mean after 2010," the World Cup-winning coach said.

In his two spells as coach at Juve (1994-99 and 2001-04), Lippi won five Serie A titles and a Champions League trophy.
