Manu Ferrera (born 21 October 1958) is a Spanish-born football coach, best known for his career in Belgium.

After the season, Seraing was taken over by the neighbouring Standard de Liège, which made Ferrera move to RSC Anderlecht, where he worked as a youth trainer and scout.

He worked closely together in that period with players such as Oleg Iachtchouk, Mark De Man, Tom Soetaers, Xavier Chen, and Olivier Deschacht.

The former Gouden Schoen did not want to start as a coach himself directly and therefore asked for Emilio Ferrera as a trainer.

Angelo Nijskens was dismissed in January 2004 and replaced by Ferrera, who piloted the West-Flemish team directly to Second Division.

Afterwards, the team appointed Rudi Verkempinck as the new head coach, but he was also replaced by Ferrera in September 2004.

Ferrera trained at Standard top players such as Axel Witsel, Steven Defour, Milan Jovanović, and Dieumerci Mbokani.

Manu Ferrera was born in the Spanish village El Cerro de Andévalo, but he moved in 1962 to Schaarbeek with his family.

His brothers, Emilio and Francisco Ferrera, and his nephew Yannick, are all footballing coaches in Belgium.
