In his early twenties, Ferrera enjoyed a brief career as a professional footballer, playing for Belgian sides Beveren, Tubize, Ternat and Jette.

Managerial career

In 2004, Ferrera was appointed head coach of the Anderlecht youth team, which at that time included Romelu Lukaku and Adnan Januzaj. [1] In 2010, he joined the technical staff of AA Gent, serving under manager Michel Preud'homme, whom Ferrera later followed to Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab. [2]

In 2012, Ferrera became manager of first league team Charleroi. [3] One year later, he moved to Sint-Truiden that was playing in the Belgian Second Division. [4] Under his leadership, STVV gained promotion to the highest level for the 2015–16 season.

In September 2015, Ferrera was appointed manager at Standard Liège. In spite of winning the domestic cup that season, he was sacked early into the 2016–17 season due to disputes with the board of directors. Ferrera was replaced by Aleksandar Janković. Janković's former club, Mechelen, immediately decided to hire Ferrera for two seasons as a replacement.

On 14 October 2019, Ferrera was appointed as the new manager of Saudi Professional League outfit Al-Fateh. [5] He left the club by mutual consent on 9 January 2022. [6]

On 6 June 2023, Ferrera was appointed as manager of newly promoted Saudi Pro League side Al-Riyadh. [8] On 20 September 2023, Ferrera was sacked by Al-Riyadh, with the club sitting in the relegation places. [9]

Personal life

Ferrera was born in Ukkel to a Spanish father and an Italian mother. [10] He retained his Spanish citizenship until 1992, when he was naturalised as a Belgian. [11] His father, Francisco, and his uncles, Manu and Emilio Ferrera are all footballing coaches in Belgium. [12]

The 2006–07 season of the Belgian First Division began on July 28, 2006, and concluded on May 19, 2007. The championship was decided in the penultimate round on May 12, 2007, when Anderlecht moved five points clear of runners-up Genk to retain the title and win their 29th League Championship. At the other end of the table, the struggle to avoid automatic relegation went on until the final round, and it was Lierse who eventually prevailed. Having spent the entire season at the bottom of the standings and only just managing to close an eleven-point gap up to 17th, the Lier side won their last game to climb past Beveren and send the latter down to the Second Division. However, Lierse went on to lose the playoffs and was relegated anyway.
