About Nacho Ferrer

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”.
