Lippi getting second shot

Italian coach tasked with rebuilding after returning to national team helm

Months after Marcello Lippi's "retirement", the 71-year-old Italian is returning as head coach of China's national soccer team - but will his second stint at the helm see any improvement?

According to Tencent Sports, Lippi will arrive in Guangzhou on Tuesday and his first task will be to compile a new list of 25 candidates for Team China, which will assemble on June 3 for training in the city.
