Palmeiras: Why Abel Ferreira has travelled to Portugal | OneFootball

Palmeiras continues their preparation for the season's sequence during the FIFA international break. Coach Abel Ferreira was absent during the first activities of this week due to a trip to Portugal.

Reason for the trip

NOSSO PALESTRA found out that the coach was granted leave by Verdão's football management to resolve some issues in the country, such as handling all the documentation for his daughter's college enrollment and the move to Braga.

Additionally, Abel Ferreira took advantage of the time in Portugal to visit his parents. The understanding is that the FIFA international break is the only time the coach has to travel to his homeland due to the distance. Players and other staff can make trips during shorter breaks, unlike Abel.

The Portuguese coach returns to Brazil this Sunday (7) and is expected on Monday at Palmeiras' Football Academy to participate in the team's preparation for the Brazilian Championship and Conmebol Libertadores matches.

The next match will be next Saturday (13), against Internacional, at 6:30 PM, at Allianz Parque – in the first round, in Porto Alegre (RS), the Greatest Champion of Brazil won 1-0, with a goal by forward Facundo Torres. The team will face Fortaleza and Bahia afterward.
