Ciro Ferrara has praised former team-mate Antonio Conte for reviving the fortunes of Juventus since his summer arrival from Siena.<\/p>\n
The Turin giants are currently top of Serie A and are the only side to make an unbeaten start to the campaign, winning nine and drawing seven of their 16 league games.<\/p>\n
Ferrara previously managed the Old Lady during the 2009-10 season and is now in charge of the Italy under-21 squad.<\/p>\n
“What Conte has done in his short career is in full view of everyone,” the former defender told Tuttosport.<\/p>\n
“He has won two promotions to Serie A [with Bari and Siena] and he has made an impression with his desire, commitment and determination.<\/p>\n
“He is confirming himself with Juventus and I’m happy. The Bianconeri have returned to the levels that they should be competing at.”<\/p>\n
Juventus return to league action on January 8 when they face an away trip to Lecce.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
