After mocking the situation of Flamengo, the president of Palmeiras came to the defense of Filipe Luís, who was dismissed on Tuesday (03). This is because Leila Pereira disapproves of the idea of dismissing an employee in the middle of the night without a plausible reason.
— I have seen several clubs doing these things. I think it's an absurd lack of respect to dismiss any employee in the heat of the moment, at 1 a.m., 2 a.m. This has never happened here, especially because I have never fired anyone and I hope not to fire our coach -, stated the director, adding that:
— (…) Is it too much to wait for the next day, to wait and talk? Many leaders make decisions to please the fans, to look good to the public, or even to some journalists -, highlighted the manager to Cazé TV.
As soon as Filipe Luís's dismissal became public, Leila Pereira posted a photo with a caption interpreted as a dig at Flamengo. “Here at Palmeiras, professionals have peace of mind to work,” she pointed out.
However, also on Cazé TV, the Palmeiras leader did not want to jab Luiz Eduardo Baptista, known as Bap. This is because Leila Pereira said it was just a statement to the team in green, as she has “a sense of duty fulfilled, the utmost for the athletes, I invest.”
Filipe Luís has already bid farewell to the Rubro-Negro facilities, while Leonardo Jardim got to know them this Wednesday (04). The Most Beloved officially announced the Portuguese coach later on the same day.
