[personal history]

In the early 1980s, Naples had unprecedented ambitions for football. 1983-84 Before the season, Napoli brought in Argentine superstar Diego Diego Maradona from Barcelona for 7.5 million dollars. At the same time, a defender named Ferrara, who was only 17 years old, was promoted to the first team, which opened the prelude to the legendary player's career in the next 20 years.

1On May 5th, 985, Ferrara made his debut in the league against his future club Juventus. Starting from the 1985-86 season, Ferrara finally established the main position of the team's defense line. In the following seasons, Ferrara accompanied Naples to create a series of miracles in international football.

However, after entering the 1990s, with the decline of Diego Diego Maradona and the appearance of "drug prohibition", Naples began to enter the recession stage. It was in this difficult situation that Ferrara took over the captain's armband left by diego maradona. It was under his leadership that Napoli finished fourth in the league in the 199 1-92 season without Diego Diego Maradona. However, the downward trend of the club cannot be reversed after all. 1994 In the summer, Ferrara defected from Naples to Juventus with coach Lippi, unable to turn the situation around by himself.

After joining Juventus, Ferrara was immediately reused by the team and became the core figure of the defense line. In the first season of joining the Bianconeri, Ferrara participated in 33 of the 34 league games and became recognized as the "iron man" in the team. Juventus finally won the league title after 9 years' absence.

1995-96 season, although Juventus lost to AC Milan in the championship battle, in the European Champions League, Juventus showed a strong momentum and finally won the cup.

In the following seasons, Ferrara still played a key role in Juventus' defence. Except for the long-term absence due to injury around 1997, Ferrara still occupies a place in the main lineup at other times. It was not until the 2003-04 season that the age factor really affected Ferrara's competitive state. The number of appearances this season decreased significantly, reaching the lowest point in 20 years. However, Juventus has not forgotten this outstanding veteran. Against Parma, Capello changed into Ferrara in the second half and finished his 500th league game.

Coaching career:

Since retiring in 2005, Ferrara has been preparing for this. Winning the World Cup as Lippi's deputy in 2006 strengthened his confidence. From the coach's license to the training of sports managers, Ferrara has been working hard, just as he worked hard in Juventus 1 1 season.

On June 6th, 2009, at 17:30, Ferrara officially became the head coach of Juventus and began a new chapter in his coaching career.
