About Nacho Ferrer
Qualifications
Jorge Valdano
Real Madrid C.F. General Manager 2000-2004 & 2009-2011
“During the time Nacho Ferrer has worked for me, he has shown much more than just the required knowledge, skills, background and passion in the process of detecting and developing talent. He is ‘one of a kind’ in a youth football context, having demonstrated deep expertise managing the singularities and needs of each age group of young footballers and having displayed that he holds the appropriate teaching method, personality and patience to help the players achieve their full potential”.
Andoni Zubizarreta
F.C. Barcelona General Manager between 2010-2015
“Whenever I have had the chance to talk about Nacho Ferrer with our Academy’s youth coaches (F.C. Barcelona), the references have always been positive: they talk about a talented coach with a special gift to manage young players. When your main opponent honestly appreciates you, that is because there is a solid background”.
