Italy coach Marcello Lippi has ruled out returning to coaching at club level once his stint with the Italy national team ends.

According to football-italia.net, the veteran coach has revealed he is not attracted to the day-to-day involvement with clubs which brings about stress on the daily level.

The Italian led his country to World Cup glory in 2006 to add to his impress CV with clubs like Juventus, Napoli and Inter Milan but he has decided against coach a club again.

"I say this officially, after my experience with the national team you will never see me coach a club again," Lippi said.

"In part it's because I couldn't be there answering the pundits' questions for half an hour after a match that has not gone well."

While wanting to steer clear of domestic action, Lippi has given his opinion on the affect the global credit crunch has had on football at that level.

He feels it has been positive for the game, helping to curb the extravagancies which had infiltrated the sport in recent times.

"The economic crisis is hitting the world of football deeply," he added.

"It's restoring its health, bringing its feet back on to the ground.

"The economic crisis has brought out a desire in almost all managers to downsize this toy. As in Formula One, this resolution to reduce (costs) is extremely positive."
