Abel linked with Sporting, discusses his future: I've already... | OneFootball

Abel Ferreira's contract with Palmeiras ends at the end of 2025. The coach's future has been much talked about, and after an epic victory (4-0) against LDU Quito, the former Sporting player and coach refused to elaborate on whether he will renew.

“I don't need to sign a contract, Leila knows what I want. I was hurt by what I heard from some of the fans, I wasn't expecting it," admitted the Palmeiras coach, who had several fans asking him to leave the club.

"That's why I tell Leila: it's not worth signing, because I won't continue if there are no conditions to sign. I've been contacted by clubs from all over,” admitted Abel Ferreira, after reaching the Libertadores final again with the verdão.

The criticism of Abel Ferreira mainly emerged after Palmeiras was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Corinthians. At the end of the match, when asked what he wanted to do, the former Sporting coach was direct: "I wanted to hug my daughter, who is in Portugal."

It is worth remembering that Abel Ferreira was approached by Sporting, following João Pereira's departure, to take over the main team of the lions. However, the coach did not want to return, and Frederico Varandas opted for Rui Borges, who was managing Vitória de Guimarães.
