Marcello Lippi’s place in football history has long been assured. The World Cup-winning coach of Italy in 2006 and Champions League winner with Juventus a decade earlier, this month he will seek to add the Asian Champions League to his impressive list of titles, cementing his place in Chinese football history. In an exclusive interview, the 65-year-old Italian talks candidly about his move to China, the state of football here, the AFC Champions League Final, Guangzhou Evergrande’s players and fans, this season’s World Cup, China’s hopes of one day hosting the tournament and why dinner is on Sven Goran Eriksson.

OPEN DOOR Wilber’s

Same familiar name, brand-new swagger. Having undergone a complete renovation, the popular spot now boasts a bar on the first floor with sleek new booths and a white marble wraparound bar. Bar consultant Bo complements the snazzy décor with special concoctions, having spruced up the house cocktail menu with sparkling twists. Up on the second level, the main dining area offers delicious five-course menus that change regularly, so that regular patrons can sample fresh flavors each visit. Arguably best of all, at the very top of the building sits the outdoor veranda, accessorized with comfortable lounge couches on which to re- cline and take in the view. // Wilber's, 62 Zhusigang Er Malu, Yuexiu District 越秀区竹丝岗二马路62号 (3761 1101) win! We've got a set dinner voucher for two people at Wilber's valued at RMB700 to give away.

OPEN DOOR Above Lounge Bar

Located on the fifth floor of the Party Pier’s Zone C, the Above Lounge Bar is finally opening its doors this month. Mainly featuring champagne and cocktails, this outdoor spot possesses a great view of the Pearl River. Foreign DJs playing a variety of music genres provide the musical entertainment, while professional bartenders mix up thirst-quenching cocktails – and if that’s not enough, various themed parties take place on different days. Combining a pleasant environment with an action-packed schedule, Above Lounge Bar is making its bid to become the city’s next expat hotspot. // 5/F, Zone C, Party Pier, Yuejiang Xi Lu, Haizhu District海珠区磨碟沙隧道阅江西路珠江啤酒厂琶醍艺术创意区C区5 楼（8997 9661）
