He said: "I want to take a break for six or seven months. I'll go to the Delle Alpi to watch Juve's games then I am certain that after that spell of rest my hands will start to sweat again and the desire to coach will return to me, but not with any other Italian team.
"I have always said that maybe I would go abroad or to the national team but only after that six or seven months. Who wouldn't like to coach the national side?
"From June 12 I will be the number one fan of the Italy team and I hope that they win the European championships.
"Trapattoni has done very well to form a good, compact team. Then if they call on me I will be honoured."
Should his national ambitions not work out there would be no shortage of offers for one of the most highly respected coaches in the game.
Lippi said he had already rejected a number of approaches during this season.
"I refused any kind of contact. A lot of clubs called me but I turned them down," he said.
In his two spells at the Turin club, Lippi won five Italian titles and took Juventus to four Champions League finals, winning the continent's top trophy in 1996.
