Former Juventus coach Marcello Lippi sees his old team as title contenders.

Lippi admits he was impressed by their victory over Torino last weekend.

He told Bianconeranews.com: "In the derby the team made a good impression on me. In fact I would say an excellent impression.

"Juventus started very well in this championship and achieved some good results. We always keep in mind that they have no international cups to compete: this allows the team to concentrate on the championship, of which they will certainly be a protagonist.

"However, I don't know if, in the end, they will win this championship, because success depends on many details...".
