Leila Pereira, president of Palmeiras, said she intends to hold Abel Ferreira beyond his current contract, which is valid until December 2024.
Given that Palmeiras has a guaranteed place in the 2025 Club World Cup (for having won Libertadores in the years between 2021 and 2024), Leila Pereira was asked whether Abel would guide the teams at that time and what he would do to hold him back.
Remember that yesterday, after winning Paulistão, the coach said that he had already received proposals to leave and he felt good at the club, but he regretted the ocean that separated him from his parents, having his closest family with him.
«The trump card to keep Abel at Palmeiras is to continue working, as a manager of the club, so that he has all the conditions to continue doing this brilliant job. I’m sure that Abel is very happy at Palmeiras, as we are too. He has a contract until 2024, but if it depends on the president, he will stay with us for a long time », he said.
