Juventus goalkeeper Alex Manninger insists coach Alberto Zaccheroni is a better option than predecessor Ciro Ferrara.

The former Arsenal stopper, who is likely to start in this weekend's clash against rivals Fiorentina, is happy to have such an experienced man back at the helm.

"There's no comparison between Zaccheroni and Ferrara," said Manninger. "We're talking of a coach and person who has never coached before.

"Ferrara was a gamble that unfortunately lost. With Zaccheroni, you're playing it safe.

"It has brought security and peace of mind. My team-mates will follow him."
