After title with Abel, Palmeiras look to bounce back in Copa do Brasil | OneFootball

Since coach Abel Ferreira’s arrival, Palmeiras has experienced ups and downs in the Copa do Brasil. In his very first year, the manager led Verdão to the title, but in the following editions, that level of performance was not repeated.

The best result achieved after that triumph was a place in the quarterfinals. However, the period was also marked by eliminations, especially in matchups against direct rivals. Palmeiras was beaten twice by São Paulo and once by Corinthians, increasing the pressure in decisive matches in the tournament.

Despite the club’s recent inconsistent history in the competition, Palmeiras is counting on the stability of Abel Ferreira’s work and the strength of the squad to regain a leading role. The Copa do Brasil remains one of the season’s priorities, both for its prestige and its prize money.

Now, Verdão begins another campaign aiming to put the recent eliminations behind them and compete for the title again, trying to turn the consistency of recent years into trophies in the national knockout competition as well.
