Ferrara to coach the Italy Under-21s
[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Ciro Ferrara has been formally appointed in charge of the Italy Under-21s in a surprise move.

The 43-year-old replaces Pierluigi Casiraghi who left his post after failing to qualify the Azzurrini for the European Championship and London 2012.

Angelo Peruzzi will assist Ferrara who has put pen to paper on a three-year contract.

The FIGC will unveil Ferrara to the Italian media on October 25 at 3pm.

Ferrara has been out of work since the spring when Juventus sacked him after just six months at the helm.

His time in charge of the Turin giants was largely judged to have been a failure.

Yeah, he made a concerted effort to integrate the youth academy players into the Juve first team during his tenure.

There must be a serious lack of coaching talent if they had to resort to Ferrara.

It's u-21. You don't see good coaches taking over those youth teams where they earn...dunno, some 100k a year or so.
Only those who can't find a job in some club take the u-21's.

Have to agree. He's just getting the job cause he is Ciro Ferrara, the legendary defender.

Despite what happened at Juve, Ferrara is still respected as a coach and was a big part of the Italian set up under Lippi.

Its quite common for assistants of national teams to get a break at U21 level.

He is a better appointment that the others who were linked with the post and it is unlikely that an established manager would want such a job.

I understand that but Lippi proved that he wasn't up for the job anymore & was a disaster for Italy in the last year or so.Ciro did learn a lot from Lippi, Italy still sucked under his tenure & Ciro lost the plot at Juve.

Why would they knowingly give Ciro the job when he couldn't cut it at the top with Juve, couldn't work in the youth academy players at Juve & also when his footballing philosophy would be moulded under Lippi's image?

I assume he has got the job largely due to his work when he was a youth coach at Juve.

And, as Alen suggested, you won't be able to find a top level coach to manage the U21 team.

Good lcuk Ciro.I think he best suites younger players and will do rather well. he plays a more attractive style and hopefully it will help our youth players in being more attack minded. Which will hopefully help out prandelli in picking some good youth players to the senior side.
