Coaching career

RSC Anderlecht (youth teams)
Ferrera spent six years as a coach at the RSCA Youth Academy, where he worked alongside Romelu Lukaku.

Assistant to Francky Dury and Michel Preud'Homme

In 2010, he joined KAA La Gantoise's technical staff, holding the position of video analyst for Francky Dury. The following year he left Belgium and left with Michel Preud'homme in Al-Shabaab Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) as assistant.

Charleroi Sporting

Ferrera signed Charleroi's first lead coach contract in , becoming 31 years old, 10 months old and 4 days younger in the history of the Jupiler Pro League (defeats 4-2 against KV Mechelen for his first match on ).

He resigned following disagreement with his leaders.

K. Saint-Trond VV

Then Ferrera won notably in Charleroi on the move (2-3), against Anderlecht (1-0) and then Bruges (2-0) at home. Ending the classic phase of the championship, he failed to qualify his team for play-offs 1. On the other hand, he won the Belgian Cup by defeating the Club de Bruges 2-1, thus directly qualifying the Standard of Liège for the group phase of the Europa League.

The 2016-2017 season started again bad for Les Rouches with a defeat in the Supercoupe against Bruges and a single victory over the first five championship matches: a lack of balance for the management who wanted to hang on to the top 3. Yannick Ferrera was then dismissed on , a year after his arrival.
