Flamengo rivals Palmeiras could lose Abel Ferreira to European club | OneFootball

Abel Ferreira is under contract with Palmeiras until the end of next year

Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras has become Flamengo’s main rival in Brazilian and South American football in recent years. However, the São Paulo club could end up losing the Portuguese coach due to interest from Tottenham (ENG).

According to journalist Diego Firmino, Tottenham have made new inquiries in an attempt to sign Abel Ferreira from Palmeiras. There has not yet been an official offer for the Portuguese coach, but the English club is interested.

This Sunday (29), Tottenham announced the dismissal of coach Igor Tudor, who managed only seven matches and left without a single win. The English side sits just above the relegation zone and alarm bells are already ringing.

WHAT IS ABEL FERREIRA’S SITUATION AT PALMEIRAS?

However, Tottenham’s mission to lure Abel Ferreira away from Palmeiras is difficult, given that the coach renewed his contract with the São Paulo club. As a result, the foreign manager’s new deal runs until December of next year.

WHAT HAS THE RIVALRY BETWEEN THE TEAMS BEEN LIKE IN RECENT YEARS?

Abel Ferreira’s Palmeiras and Flamengo have fought major battles in Brazilian and international football. First, there were two finals, with the Portuguese coach coming out on top in 2022. Finally, the Rubro-Negro side got revenge last year under Filipe Luís.

Lastly, Flamengo and Palmeiras are the top teams in the Brazilian Championship. For comparison, the two clubs have been either champions or runners-up every year since 2015. In that span, Flamengo has lifted the trophy three times, and their rivals four.
