Abel Ferreira ‘to take charge’ of Vasco in 2028, claims Neto | OneFootball

According to PaponaColina, presenter Craque Neto claimed on his TV programme that Abel Ferreira will take charge of Vasco in 2028, a line that quickly stirred fans online.

Despite the on-air certainty, the Portuguese coach is under contract and enjoys full backing from Leila Pereira. The Palmeiras president has said she intends to keep the current staff until the final day of her term in December 2027, stressing that alignment with the manager remains intact.

The comment resonated among Vasco fans, who linked it to a changing financial outlook. Almirante Participações, the company of Marcos Lamacchia, has moved to take control of 90% of Vasco SAF with a multi-billion investment plan from 2027.

For now, this remains the presenter’s personal punt, with no official confirmation or open talks between the parties. The Palmeiras hierarchy remain focused on live title races, while Abel Ferreira’s European staff are not feeding rumours about ending his long spell in São Paulo.

Day to day at Vasco, the board give full backing to coach Pedro Emanuel and his staff at São Januário. The first team remain focused on the Brasileirão and the semi-finals of the Copa do Brasil and the Copa Sul-Americana, keeping outside noise at bay.
