Despite being considered by many to be the greatest coach in Palmeiras history and one of the greatest winners of Verdon, Abel Ferreira lives a season of ups and downs, being questioned by the fans. Despite having the support of President Leila Pereira, the permanence of the Portuguese coach at Allianz Parque is not a guarantee.
In addition to the charges, Abel Ferreira arouses club interest around the world. Egypt’s Al Ahly would have sought the coach after dismissing Jose Rivero in recent days. According to our Palestra, the Portuguese would have said no to the proposal due to financial issues and for having no interest in leaving Palmeiras at the moment.
Abel has a proposal for renewal of two seasons with Palmeiras, but has not yet defined the future and the club’s board awaits response.
– I am interested that our coach is with us until the end of 2027. My wish and what I want for the Sports Society Palmeiras. Some have the right to criticize me, I have the right to decide. The sooner we will sign the contract to renew until December 2027. Once you have the signed document, I communicate to you. To make it clear to everyone, that this is the desire of Palmeiras sports society – said Leila Pereira.
🚨 Now!
