Abel Ferreira back in the dugout, available to Palmeiras in 3 competitions | OneFootball

After serving his suspension, Abel Ferreira will return to lead Palmeiras from the sidelines and will once again be available to the team in all three competitions this season.

The coach’s return comes precisely in the clash against Jacuipense, in the second leg of the first round of the Copa do Brasil, at Estádio do Café in Londrina. Verdão come in with a comfortable advantage after winning the first leg 3-0 at Allianz Parque, with two goals from Ramon Sosa and one from Felipe Anderson.

Abel had been sidelined due to punishments handed down after red cards in matches against São Paulo and Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship. Tried by the STJD, the coach received the maximum penalty and had his request for a stay of suspension denied, a situation that caused strong dissatisfaction within Palmeiras.

At the time, club officials and members of the coaching staff considered the punishment excessive, with even his assistants refusing to give press conferences after some matches. Even away from the technical area during games, Abel continued to take part in the team’s preparation and closely followed the work carried out by the staff.

With the suspension served, the Portuguese coach returns at an important moment in the season, with Palmeiras simultaneously competing in the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, and Libertadores.
