Can Abel Ferreira be fired?
Despite criticism from the Palmeiras fans, Abel Ferreira is supported by Palmeiras by the board presided by Leila Pereira. Even the agent has already admitted that intends to renew Abel’s contractwhich goes only until the end of this season.
– I’ve said that countless times. Our great wish is to stay until the end of my term, it would be historical. This is my goal, to stay until December 2027. We have several commitments this year. Abel has a contract until December of this year and my goal is for him to renew, ”said Leila in May this year.
Abel Ferreira himself spoke about a possible extent of the bond.
“Just a clause is missing for me to sign with Palmeiras: If you don’t win titles, I can leave.” It is the only one missing. It is the only clause that is missing in my contract and Leila doesn’t want to put it. I have a contract to sign since January, only I said. I want to be here to win titles. To sign, a clause and it is very easy to sign with me. Since January I have a contract by my side to sign. Two years of contract, until 2027 – said Abel in July.
