Ciro Ferrara became the new coach of the Italian national team's youth (up to 21 years old).

Last season, he led the Turin club "Juventus", but was dismissed from his duties. The specialist signed a two-year contract.

Ferrara, who will be assisted by former famous goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi, will replace Pierluigi Casiraghi, who stepped down after failing to qualify for the final stage of the European U21 Championship.
