Leila Pereira on Abel Ferreira’s future at Palmeiras, Libertadores aside | OneFootball

The president of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, attended the Summit CBF Academy event this Wednesday (26th). The Palmeiras chairwoman spoke about the team’s unstable moment at the end of the season and about the future of Abel Ferreira.

Instability

Leila reinforced her confidence in Verdão’s squad for the Libertadores final against Flamengo next Saturday (29th) in Lima, Peru.

– We are going through turbulence. I’m calm here, but I’m angry (laughs). In these moments, the president needs to be rational, keep a cool head, and believe in the project. It’s not turbulence that will take our focus away from the final. We will arrive very strong – she said.

Abel’s Renewal with Palmeiras

Leila Pereira stated that the result of the Libertadores will not influence the decision to keep Abel Ferreira as Palmeiras’ coach until the end of 2027.

– Regardless of the Libertadores result, it is my wish for my coach and my football director to continue. Until December 2027, when my term ends – she added.
