Ferrara in dark over Nedved
Friday 29 May, 2009
Juventus Coach Ciro Ferrara is focusing on this weekend's game against Lazio and admits he's not sure whether it will be Pavel Nedved's final outing.
Ferrara was appointed caretaker tactician after the late dismissal of Claudio Ranieri and he celebrated a 3-0 win against Siena in his first match.
Now the former defender faces a straight fight with Bari boss Antonio Conte for the permanent job, but he is keeping his attention on the game at hand.
“We have already sobered up after the win against Siena and we are thinking about our next test against Lazio on Sunday,” Ferrara said on the Juventus Channel.
“The key thing is to end the season on a high with the kind of result our fans want.”
It could be a farewell for Czech winger Nedved, who announced his intention to hang up his boots at the age of 36 earlier in the season.
“To be honest, we don't really know yet whether Pavel will retire,” Ferarra confessed.
“If he does then it will be sad to see a champions like him leaving the game.
“Just like Paolo Maldini, Nedved has been an exemplary professional on and off the pitch.”
