Mancini shock candidate for Ferrara’s job at Juventus
Roberto Mancini has emerged as a shock candidate for Ciro Ferrara's job at Juventus.
La Stampa says the former Inter Milan coach is the only realistic candidate to succeed Ferrara if he cannot arrest Juve's recent slide. Their looming Champions League clash with Bayern Munich could decide the coach's future.
Meanwhile, Mancini's candidacy is gathering strength. While defeated at Cagliari on Sunday, Juve's board are yet to seriously discuss Ferrara's position. However, Mancini's name has not been thrown out, though Juve directors know fans may be against the appointment.

that just doesn't make sense! All Juve needs is an english coach, so the whole system can change; during the mid '90, juve was the best playing squad in Europe, and now only a shadow of itself!! the world has changed: the only teams that are playing very good, are playing strongly forward (barcelona, chelsea, bordeaux, Lyon). On the opposite, juve's just playing too slow/backwards
Plus Ferrara has no experience for the job (juve's a club that just cannot afford it).
It is also time to remove some players that have lost their good form: trezeguet, amauri, melo, grygera, zebina, tiago, Poulsen
there are little players that deserve to wear the bianconeri shirt: Marchisio, Chiellini, Buffon, Sissokko, Del Piero
some players are really needed: Giuseppe Rossi, James Collins (A Villa), Philippe Lahm (B Munchen) e.g.
