Blanc: "It Is A Great Choice And Will Be A Winning Choice For The Future"
The news may have been in the air but Juventus general manager stressed the point that the confirmation of Ciro Ferrara as Juventus coach cam after much thought and reflection. It is however a choice which the directors are convinced of and which the supporters seem to agree with.
"It is a pleasue for all of us at Juventus to give you this good news that Ciro Ferrara will be the Juventus coach for at least the next two years. We though a lot about it, we took our time and then we took a solid decision to begin a season of high level as from today".
"We considered all the possible candiates, evaluated and took our decision which was based on the qualities of Ciro. He showed great character three weeks ago answering to our call with great availability and good work and with a staff who did well. The only guarantee he had three weeks ago was that of being on the short list of the possible coaches".
"We considered all the qualities of Ciro and his staff and I am happy to continue with this decision which is line with a project which we are trying to continue that is of a great link between the youth sector and the first team. This also shows that the door to the first team is open to the youngsters. We want to give a chance to whom showed great determination to make Juve reach great goals. Our choice is coherent with the project which we embarked on in recent years. It is a great choice and will be a winning choice for the future".
In the past weeks many have compared Ferrara to Guardiola who is also young and who is fresh from winning a treble including the Champions League in his first season as Barcelona coach:
"The Guardiola story showed that a young coach can do well but we were already convinced of this because at Juventus there many young persons with great responsibilities".
