Former Juventus defender Paolo Montero believes Ciro Ferrara is the right man to lead the Old Lady in her quest for glory.
Montero played alongside Ferrara from 1996 to 2005 and the pair formed a solid partnership at the heart of the Juventus defence. The Uruguayan has hit out at the sceptics who claimed Ferrara didn't have the experience, and he has used Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola's success to underline his point.
"Ciro is the person who is right for the role. No-one knows the environment better than he does," Montero told Tuttosport.
"He was a leader on the pitch and he will also be a leader on the bench. He has the charisma to guide a major club, and this is fundamental.
"Only in Italy can people have their doubts over him. Guardiola, who is younger than Ciro, won with Barcelona and there are more examples around."
Montero has also hailed the club's transfer market activity so far, paying particular attention to Diego's arrival from Werder Bremen.
"Diego showed he is a champion at Werder Bremen, and he was already in the Brazil squad at 18. He is a guarantee for Juventus, but don't compare him to Zinedine Zidane as he was number one," concluded the former defender.
