Ciro Ferrara was born on 11 February 1967 and came up through Italian football as a defender, first making his name at Napoli. In June 1987, aged just twenty, he debuted for the Italian senior national team in a friendly against Argentina, and by 1988 he was part of the Italy squad that reached the semi-finals of the Summer Olympics, eventually finishing fourth.
His club career reached its heights with Juventus, where he collected seven total Serie A titles across his time with the Bianconeri and Napoli, along with other domestic and international trophies. One memorable highlight came in the 1996 UEFA Super Cup, when Juventus dismantled Paris Saint-Germain 9–2 on aggregate, with Ferrara himself scoring in the record 6–1 first-leg win at the Parc des Princes. For Italy, he earned 49 caps and represented his country at the 1990 World Cup and at two UEFA European Championships, in 1988 and 2000.
After retiring as a player, Ferrara moved into management, winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup as an assistant coach to Marcello Lippi with Italy. He later served as youth system chief at Juventus, took his UEFA Pro License at Coverciano in Florence in 2008, and was appointed Juventus head coach for the 2009–10 season after a successful interim spell. He went on to manage the Italy under-21 team from 2010, leaving unbeaten in 2013 European Championship qualifiers, before brief spells with Sampdoria and, most recently, Wuhan Zall.
