Italy coach Marcello Lippi has been tipped to join Milan after the World Cup, according to speculative reports.

Tuttomercatoweb.com
claims the 'Studio Sport' news programme on Wednesday suggested Lippi was heading to Milan after the summer tournament in South Africa.

The report comes on the day club president Silvio Berlusconi fired a warning shot at coach Leonardo.

Berlusconi claimed the team has the potential to win everything, but only if those in charge of it allow the players to flourish.

Milan's loss to Manchester United in the Champions League has caused concern, fuelling speculation that Leonardo's future is in doubt.

Lippi is expected to leave la Nazionale following Italy's participation at the World Cup.

Last month both he and FIGC president Giancarlo Abete claimed his future as coach of Italy would be decided before this summer's showpiece event.
