Juan Ferrando Fenoll (Catalan:Joan Ferrando; born 2 January 1981) is a Spanish professionalfootball manager who is the current manager ofGreek Super League clubVolos.
After several injuries as a footballer, Ferrando started his managerial career at age 18. He graduated from the school ofEspanyol, where he was campus and methodological coordinator (fitness, tactical and technical football); and had his 'Prácticum' atBarcelona B. He then spent consecutive seasons managingPremià,Terrassa andHospitalet.
In the 2012−13 season, he became part of the technical staff ofLa Liga clubMálaga, being appointed head coach of the club's youth team. Then, in mid-June 2013, he joinedMoldovan National Division championsSheriff Tiraspol as assistant coach; in July, he appointed as the head coach with whom he won theMoldovan Super Cup. As a manager ofSheriff Tiraspol, Ferrando led theMoldovans to theUEFA Champions League third qualifying round for the first time in their history. Failing to overcomeDinamo Zagreb to further advance to the Group Stage, he managed to eliminateVojvodina during theEuropa League play-off Round, advancingSheriff to theEuropa League Group Stage for the second time in the club's history. Playing againstTottenham,Anzhi andTromsø,Sheriff finished third with six points, two short of qualification to the next phase.[2] The day after, he was dismissed from Sheriff.
In 2014, Ferrando moved toGreece and took over management ofSuper League sideErgotelis,[3] but was fired after the two first matches of the2014–15 season, having suffered two losses.[4] Returning toSpain in 2015, he was hired byCultural Leonesa, finishing in seventh place. In 2017,Linares relied on Ferrando for the last days of the 2016-17 season, but he could do little to prevent the team from being relegated.[5] Shortly after Ferrando submitted his resignation for disagreements of sports planning, he was hired by newly formedGreekThird Division sideVolos,[6] whom he managed to consecutively achieve promotion to thesecond andfirst divisions in the following two years. Unfortunately, he had to leave Volos due to a bacterial eye infection, which nearly blinded him.[7]
Oon 30 April 2020, after a full recovery, he was appointed as the head coach ofIndian Super League clubGoa.[8] On 14 April 2021, he guided Goa to their first everAFC Champions League point by any Indian team in a 0–0 draw againstAl-Rayyan.
In 2021, he managedGoa at the 130th edition ofDurand Cup and reached to the final, defeatingBengalaru 7–6 in sudden death.[9] On 3 October, they clinched their first everDurand Cup title, defeatingMohammedan 1–0, and which was his maiden trophy in India.[10] On 20 December, Goa announced that Ferrando had stepped down as the head coach of the club by activating a release clause in his contract.[11]In a surprising turn of events, Ferrando resigned from his position in Goa on 20 December 2021 to become the head coach of anotherISL clubMohun Bagan.[12] He succeeded Antonio Lopez Habas atMohun Bagan and won the first match in his tenure 3–2 againstNorth East United.[13]
As 2022–23 season began, his club appeared on 20 August againstRajasthan United at the131st edition ofDurand Cup, in which they were defeated by 3–2.[14] But despite all odds he helped the club win the ISL title that season.
In the 2023–24 season,Mohun Bagan, led by Ferrando, showcased mixed results with six wins, one draw and three losses in theIndian Super League. Despite only twoAFC Cup victories, Ferrando secured theDurand Cup. However, on January 3, 2024, a mutual termination of Ferrando's contract marked the end of their association.[15]
