Determined Ferrara: ‘I think my job is not at risk’

(GSM) – Ciro Ferrara said he believed he would stay in his job after Juventus’ latest setback against Milan. On Sunday, the Juventus manager saw how his team got thrashed by their competitors from Milan.

Juventus were stunned by Milan: goals from Allessandro Nesta and Ronaldinho (2) secured a wide victory for the Rossoneri. Table topper Internazionale now has a twelve point lead over their rivals from Turin. However, Ferrara has no thoughts of quitting his job.

“I am not made like that. My way is to try to change things.

“I sincerely think my job is not at risk. Of course we are in a negative period but it’s not for me to make the decisions. Any decisions will be accepted.”

The Bianconeri spent heavily in the close season but Brazilians Diego and Felipe Melo have been big flops so far.

A flurry of injuries, including a knock to midfielder Christian Poulsen on Sunday which could delay Tiago’s planned loan move to Atletico Madrid, have also not helped Ferrara.

“I obviously understand the disappointment of the fans.

“Our aim is to try to find the enthusiam there was at the start of the season,” added Ferrara.

His Milan colleague Leonardo was satisfied with his team and backed Ferrara.

“It was a difficult game, even if it didn’t seem like that,” the Brazilian coach said.

“Juve are in a situation similar to us in October, it seems like everything is going wrong. I say to Ciro that it can sort itself out.”
