Italy coach Marcello Lippi has promised to have his hair shaved off if his team win the World Cup.
The 58-year-old former Juventus coach made his pledge after a friendly exchange with a tall, afro-haired Italian photographer who was obstructing his view at Thursday's press conference.
"Either move out of the way or get your hair cut," Lippi told the mop-topped snapper as he searched the room for a journalist who had just asked him a question.
The photographer retorted: "Ill shave my hair off if we win the World Cup."
"If that happens, so will I," Lippi replied.
