Italy coach Marcello Lippi is the latest candidate to rule himself out of the running to succeed Rafa Benitez at Liverpool.
Benitez's Anfield exit was confirmed last week, with the two sides parting ways by mutual consent. The Spaniard enjoyed almost six years at the helm, winning the Champions League and the FA Cup, but last season proved to be disastrous for Liverpool with Benitez paying the price.
Fulham's Roy Hodgson appears to be the favourite to become the next Liverpool manager, but inevitably a variety of names have been linked with the job.
On Sunday, Turkey coach Guus Hiddink and Galatasaray boss Frank Rijkaard ruled themselves out of the running to take over at Anfield. Now 62-year-old Lippi has rejected any prospect of coaching the Reds.
Although Lippi will step down as Italy coach immediately after the World Cup, The Sun reports that he has "no desire" to become Liverpool manager and has no interest in managing in England.
Meanwhile Croatia manager Slavan Bilic has hinted that he is interested in the job and Sven Goran Eriksson has also thrown his hat into the ring.
