In August 2021, Jean took over as administrator of the 'U' after going through a selection process conducted by the Sunat. He took charge of the team at a complicated moment. In 2020, the merengues had lost the final of the Liga 1 to Cristal and had gone almost eight years without national titles. The objective, beyond balancing the books, was nothing more than to win the championship.

However, on that path, the former footballer made some mistakes that have been undermining his management and devaluing the good things that have been done, such as taking the first step to have the High Performance Center, as well as the economic aspect that has been improving.

Jean Ferrari's mistakes
"Al Fateh owes us 60% of Alex Valera's transfer", Ferrari said upon learning that the Peruvian forward - as well as Christian Cueva - were released due to the debts the Saudi club has with them. The cream director added fuel to the fire by stating that the Middle Eastern institution also owes them money and therefore they will go to CAS.
"We are already at CAS for the breach of the terms agreed with Al Fateh. We sent documentation to the club and did not receive a response, so we went to international instances," he added.
Although the Saudi club released a statement on Tuesday indicating that the players are lying and they owe them nothing, the 'U' has been affected by the transaction. According to Ferrari, Al Fateh owes 60% of his transfer. That is, out of the 1.3 million euros for which his signing was closed, the Arabs owe about 780,000 euros.
However, when Valera decided to leave the merengue institution to experience his first overseas experience, the cream management indicated that the first payment that Al Fateh was going to make was 50%, then they were going to pay the rest in two months (September and October). It seems that it was not fulfilled from the beginning and the cream team did not do much to assert their rights.
