The club have officially confirmed that they have ousted
Claudio Ranieri and replaced him with Ciro Ferarra.
A statement on their official website reads: "Ciro Ferrara is the
new Juventus
coach. Juventus would like to
communicate that they have sacked Claudio Ranieri.
"From today, the first team will be handed over, and guided by Ciro
Ferrara. Juventus would like to thank Claudio Ranieri for the work
he has done in these two years. "We would like to wish new coach
Ciro Ferrara well for immediate success."
A press conference with Ferrara will follow at 1815 CET. The news
follows a day of talks between Jean-Claude Blanc and Alessio Secco.
Former club legend Ciro Ferrara had been hotly tipped to come in
and it has now happened.
After suggestions of leading the team for its final two matches,
updates from Turin imply that he could also be made coach for the
whole of next season, but this has not been confirmed just yet. All
will be revealed during this evening's press conference.
