Abel Ferreira to Sporting may not happen; find out why | OneFootball

has emerged as one of the names being considered by Sporting for the club’s head coach role in the medium term, should Rui Borges leave the position. The Palmeiras manager is liked by the club’s board and is seen as a possible solution for the future.

However, according to "CNN Brasil Esportes", despite the lions’ interest, the 47-year-old coach has reiterated his intention to see out his contract with the São Paulo club until December 2027, ruling out a move to Portugal at this time.

Abel renewed his contract with Palmeiras until the end of 2027, coinciding with president Leila Pereira’s term. The deal does not include a release clause, allowing either party to end it without payment.

Under Abel Ferreira’s leadership, Palmeiras have won 11 titles since 2020. This season, Verdão lifted the Campeonato Paulista trophy and remain in contention in the Brazilian Championship, the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Libertadores.
