Yannick Ferrera

Yannick Ferrera y Caro (born 24 September 1980) is a Belgian-Spanish professional football manager and former player. He is the currently head coach of Belgian Pro League club Dender EH.

In his early twenties, Ferrera enjoyed a brief career as a professional footballer, playing for Belgian sides Beveren, Tubize, Ternat and Jette.

In 2004, Ferrera was appointed head coach of the Anderlecht youth team, which at that time included Romelu Lukaku and Adnan Januzaj. In 2010, he joined the technical staff of AA Gent, serving under manager Michel Preud'homme, whom Ferrera later followed to Saudi Arabian club Al-Shabab.

In 2012, Ferrera became manager of the first league team Charleroi. One year later, he moved to Sint-Truiden that was playing in the Belgian Second Division. Under his leadership, STVV gained promotion to the highest level for the 2015–16 season.

In September 2015, Ferrera was appointed manager at Standard Liège. In spite of winning the domestic cup that season, he was sacked early into the 2016–17 season due to disputes with the board of directors. Ferrera was replaced by Aleksandar Janković. Janković's former club, Mechelen, immediately decided to hire Ferrera for two seasons as a replacement.

On 14 October 2019, Ferrera was appointed as the new manager of Saudi Professional League outfit Al-Fateh. He left the club by mutual consent on 9 January 2022.

On 21 October 2022, Ferrera was appointed manager of Cypriot First Division club Omonia Nicosia. He was sacked in February 2023, amidst disappointing results in the league.

On 6 June 2023, Ferrera was appointed as manager of newly promoted Saudi Pro League side Al-Riyadh. On 20 September 2023, Ferrera was sacked by Al-Riyadh, with the club sitting in the relegation places.
