Marcello Lippi believes clubs will be queuing for Italy coach Cesare Prandelli should he leave after the World Cup.
Prandelli cannot guarantee he will stay in the job after Brazil.
"I've read the rumours," former Italy coach Lippi told Sky Sport Italia. "It's quite a cast. I understand the desire of Prandelli though.
"He is 10 years younger than me, and therefore has the desire to build a team, working with it every day.
"After four excellent years, let's hope that they get the best possible result at the World Cup.
"And I think why not. Italy, France, Holland, Germany, Brazil and Argentina are the teams that will probably win. And with a bit of luck who knows.
"However, Prandelli will have no trouble finding a team."
