The new Italy U21 boss, Ciro Ferrara, was officially introduced today: "I am happy but also surprised - he said in a press conference - I didn't expect to be be appointed".

This will be Ferrara's second experience on the bench after he coached Juventus last season: "This is not a step below in my career, but a great opportunity to improve".

About his past at Juventus, he said: "Even though it did not end well, I than Juventus, a club that gave me a lot".
