STJD full court increases Abel Ferreira’s punishment

This Friday (11), the STJD full court reviewed the appeal filed by Palmeiras seeking to reduce Abel Ferreira’s punishment.

However, the panel increased the suspension to three matches, and the Portuguese manager will miss the games against São Paulo, Grêmio, and Bahia in the Brazilian Championship.

Recall Abel Ferreira’s hearing, of Palmeiras

The STJD had judged coach Abel Ferreira last Friday (4) over kicking the broadcast microphone. The manager disagreed with referee João Vitor Gobi’s decision.

The Palmeiras manager was punished on that occasion with a two-match suspension.

The Palmeiras coach had been charged under Article 258 of the CBJD, and the prescribed penalty ranged from one to six matches of suspension.

Art. 258. Adopting any conduct contrary to discipline or sporting ethics not classified under the other rules of this Code.

PENALTY: suspension from one to six matches, competitions, or equivalent, if committed by an athlete, even as a substitute, coach, doctor, or member of the technical staff, and suspension for a period of fifteen to one hundred and eighty days if committed by any other natural person subject to this Code.
