Marcello Lippi has rejected talk that he could take the Italy job next summer by committing himself to Juventus.
The tactician is being touted to replace Giovanni Trapattoni after Euro 2004 but the Coach insists that won’t happen.
"It would be an honour to take charge of the Azzurri but I have an agreement with Juventus until 2005," he said.
"I’m not leaving this club before then. The only way that would occur is if the club decided to sack me.
"I’ve been here for eight years and I want to win the Scudetto and the Champions’ League yet again."

Roma’s Fabio Capello has ruled himself out as a possible contender to replace Giovanni Trapattoni as Italy boss.
The latter is expected to step down after the 2004 European Championships and the search for his successor is already on.
Juventus boss Marcello Lippi has again recently reiterated that he is interested in the Azzurri post. But Capello, another reported target for the FIGC, is not so keen.
"I would prefer to have another experience abroad," he told ‘Roma Channel’ television on Tuesday.
"I don’t think the Italy job right now is that stimulating. That position would see me become more of a selector than a Coach."
The former Milan boss is contracted with the Stadio Olimpico outfit until 2005 but has clear ideas about his future.
"I had a great time in Spain with Real Madrid and I’m looking for another experience like that," he added.
Capello has also been linked with both Barcelona and Manchester United in recent times.
However, a move to the Premiership with the Old Trafford outfit looks unlikely with Sir Alex Ferguson set to be handed a contract extension in the near future.
The tactician was also linked with the England job before the FA opted for Lazio’s Sven Goran Eriksson.
Juve will struggle without Lipp, look what happned when Ancelotti took over.
Lippi becomes the second boss in the space of a few hours to reject the job after Roma boss Fabio Capello.
The latter insists that he has no interest in international football management.
