It’s official: Juventus kick out Ranieri, hire Ferrara  Matka Guessing

 

Juventus of Turin, whose Champions League place is threatened, have replaced their coach Claudio Ranieri by their former star stopper Ciro Ferrara.

"Ciro Ferrara is new Juventus’ coach. We confirm that Claudio Ranieri has been given notice," said the club last Monday in a communique.

"We thank him for the job he has done in the past two seasons. Ciro Ferrara is taking over the team and will continue to manage it until the end of the season."

The final straw for the club’s bosses was the seventh winless game in the row for Juventus, the 2-2 draw against Atalanta in Serie A.

It is also said that the former Zebras’ defender may be confirmed as Juve’s coach for the next season, depending on his showing in the last two games of the current campaign.

Ranieri, formerly of Chelsea and Valencia, took over Juventus in 2007 after their return from Serie B, where they were banished for tampering with referees.
