Ravanelli: 'I'd keep Ferrara'
Fabrizio Ravanelli believes his former Juventus team-mate Ciro Ferrara should keep his job in Turin amid speculation he will be dismissed.
The Bianconeri are expected to move Ferrara upstairs after tonight's game against Inter at San Siro in the Coppa Italia Quarter-Finals.
Jean-Claude Blanc is reportedly in England trying to persuade Rafa Benitez to leave Liverpool and take over in Turin immediately.
If, as expected, Blanc fails then the club will make an interim appointment having interviewed Claudio Gentile and Alberto Zaccheroni.
Speaking at a charity awards ceremony in Civitavecchia, Ravanelli said: “I don't know the situation from up close, but if I were Juve, I would put my faith in Ferrara. He is an extraordinary man and he has great qualities.
“I believe the club would do well to reinforce the position of the Coach that they have already. The players right now probably feel his position is being delegitimised.
“It's up to the directors to rehabilitate him. I don't believe Benitez can free himself now,” Ravanelli concluded.
