Leila Pereira pushes Abel Ferreira to sign new Palmeiras deal | OneFootball

The president of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira, has never hidden her desire to renew Abel Ferreira's contract until the end of her term, which concludes in December 2027.

During discussions, still at the end of 2024, the Palmeiras coach stated that he would only agree to stay at the club if a complete overhaul of the squad was carried out, keeping only some technical and leadership pillars in the group.

Requests Fulfilled

NOSSO PALESTRA found out that Leila Pereira met all of Abel Ferreira's requests in assembling the squad. Some names that were signed were requested by the Portuguese coach, while others, such as Andreas Pereira, were "president's signings" to fill team gaps.

The plan outlined by Verdão's football management and the technical committee was to make significant investments in 2025 so that, in the last two years of Leila's term, only specific adjustments to the group would be made in the upcoming transfer windows.

The Palmeiras president believes she has fulfilled all of Abel Ferreira's wishes, both in player signings and in the new contract offered until the end of 2025. Now, it remains for the coach to sign the agreement and continue at the club for another two years, as agreed between the parties.

Renewal on the Agenda

– I am very interested in having our coach stay with us until the end of 2027. This is my wish and what I want for Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras. Some have the right to criticize, I have the right to decide. We will sign the contract to renew until December 2027 as soon as possible. Once the document is signed, I will inform you. To make it clear to everyone, this is the wish of Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras. – she said
