Palmeiras beat São Paulo 1-0 at Morumbis in the Brazilian Championship. Head coach Abel Ferreira was sent off by Anderson Daronco in the second half.
In a ruling handed down this Thursday (09), the Palmeiras coach was suspended for six matches for the sending-off in the Choque-Rei, in the Brazilian Championship.
Overall, the Verdão coach was suspended for eight matches: six for the Choque-Rei and two for the match against Fluminense in the Brasileirão. Of that total, the Alviverde manager has already served two matches.

According to NOSSO PALESTRA, Palmeiras believes the decision made by the STJD was completely inappropriate and disproportionate. Verdão will appeal and seek a suspensive effect in order to have Abel Ferreira available for the Derby in the Brasileirão.
The referee of the Choque-Rei reported in the match report that the Palmeiras coach insulted him by calling him a “coward” after being shown the second yellow card.

Abel Ferreira has already accumulated three red cards in 2026. In two of them, he was reported to the STJD. In addition to the sendings-off, the Palmeiras coach has already received six yellow cards during the season.
