ROME, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Former Italy head coach Marcelo Lippi said that Juventus are set to win their third successive Scudetto this season.

The 65-year-old former Juventus boss, currently managing Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande, claimed that the Turin outfit could achieve the historical feat under the guidance of Antonio Conte.

"Juventus will win the league," he said. "I think the title is already theirs," he said.

"Conte, as a captain, was a real leader, and he has clearly maintained that as a coach. I always knew he would become a good coach," he said.
