Career
Ferretti began coaching football with Pumas UNAM in 1991 after retiring as a player. In 1996, he moved to Guadalajara, where he won the league championship in 1997 and 1998 as a runner-up. He was unable to qualify for the play-offs in eight seasons with Chivas.
Despite having a squad full of key names from Mexico's national team, including many from the Mexico national team, Jorge Campos and Luis Hernández, as well as other national teams, he moved to Tigres UANL in 2000, a team that has consistently failed to qualify for the play-offs. Ferretti qualified the team for the play-offs in his first year, and they were ranked runners-up a season later.
He remained with Tigres until 2003, where his continued success and the team's solid economic success made Ferretti one of the best compensated coaches of the time. Nevertheless, Clausura debuted in the first ever semi-finals of Clásico Regiomontano, in which Tigres defeated their arch-rival Rayados. Both teams were favourites for the championship, and Tigres' first game got off to a 4–1 win on the first leg, but the players' mistakes made the second leg insignificant, and the second leg was insignificant. The team's inability to beat their arch-rival in the semi-finals, so the team decided not to renew the coach's contract. Ferretti then moved to Toluca for the Apertura 2003.
However, Tigres hired Nery Pumpido as coach in the 2011 season, but local media in Monterrey has always believed that Ferretti coached Tigres behind Pumpido. Tigres finished runners-up again this season and defeated Ferretti's Toluca in the semi-finals.
Ferretti was disregarded from the team in 2004 due to personal differences with José Cardozo, and despite qualifying for the play-offs in all of his seasons in Toluca. He then went on to coach Morelia, with mixed results, but he did help save the team from relegation.
Ferretti was appointed as a coach for the second time on January 1, 2006. Tigres won the InterLiga, qualifying the team to the Copa Libertadores de América and then to the tournament's play-offs. However, Tigres were unable to qualify for the Clausura 2006 playoffs and the Libertadores were not able to advance in the Libertadores. Tigres decided to end the relationship on June 30, 2006, as a result of this failure.
He signed with Pumas again on May 23, 2006, leading them to yet another final. This time against Atlante, a team that had endured a difficult yet successful season. Pumas were underdogs due to the fact that they didn't have a good season, but they did a good job in the playoffs using home-field advantage to the full extent. They became a nightmare for other teams within Ciudad University. They beat No. 1 seed Santos 3–0 on the first leg of the semi-finals, so much so. Santos had so many points on them this season. Pumas couldn't be able to perform on Atlante in the first leg of the final. Pumas lost by a score of 2–1 on the final's second leg. With the game's champion shooting from outside the box, the game came to a conclusion.
Ferretti sent Pumas back to the finals in 2009 after a string of comebacks in the playoffs. They were still underdogs, but they defeated Pachuca (who had beat them in the regular season 2–1) in extra time 3–2, giving them their sixth title in their team's history.
Ferretti resigned as manager after Pumas were disqualified in the 2010 playoffs due to a massive disappointment. He was immediately recruited as a coach to Tigres. After defeating Santos Laguna, Tigres' first title in 29 years, Ferretti led the team to win the Apertura 2011 league championship. For the first time in his career, he was named best manager of the tournament. Tigres defeated Alebrijes de Oaxaca 3-0 in the final on April 9, 2014. In the inaugural Supercopa MX, Tigres defeated Morelia after losing 5–4 on aggregate. Tigres made it to the final of the Apertura 2014 but lost 3-1 on aggregate to América 3-1.
Ferretti guided Tigres to the 2015 Copa Libertadores final in July 2015, becoming the third Mexican team to do so. On aggregate, the Tigres lost to River Plate 3–0. After losing on penalty kicks against his former club UNAM, Ferretti guided Tigres to their fourth league title, his second with the team. Tigres defeated Querétaro later in the 2015–16 CONCACAF Champions League final, but lost to América. In eight places, the Tigres advanced to the playoffs. In the quarterfinals, they lost to Monterrey, their city rival.
Tigres captured the Campeón de Campeones after beating Pachuca 1–0. After defeating Tijuana in an away game 1–0, Tigres qualified to the play-offs for the fifth straight season in a row. Tigres won their fifth league title after beating América on penalty kicks. The match was also Ferretti's 1,000th league match as a manager in Mexico. Ferretti became the first boss to win five league titles in the short tournament era.
Ferrett's last game as boss of Tigres ended in a 1-0 loss to Atlas on May 8, 2021, snapping his 11-year tenure as boss.
Ferretti was appointed as Juárez's manager on June 3, 2021. Ferretti and Juárez parted ways in amicable terms on May 6th, 2022.
Ferretti was named as Mexico's interim manager after Miguel Herrera was suspended for an off-field incident. Ferretti had previously stated at various times that he did not want to lead the Mexico national team but decided to hand over the team until the Mexican Football Federation hired a new manager. Mexico defeated Trinidad & Tobago and Argentina in friendlies, winning the 2015 CONCACAF Cup against the United States to qualify for the 2017 Confederations Cup and his farewell match against Panama in his interim period.
Ferretti was appointed interim manager for friendly matches against Uruguay, the United States, Costa Rica, and Chile following Juan Carlos Osorio's departure from the Mexico national team following the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
