Derby has one Palmeiras boss, Abel Ferreira, against rival’s 15 | OneFootball

Palmeiras and Corinthians face off this Sunday (10), and Abel Ferreira will come up against yet another new coach on the other side. Fernando Diniz will make his home debut.

A coach’s debut is something that has been far from the green side lately. On the other hand, it has been a constant in the Derby. Between permanent and interim appointments, the rival has had 15 different managers on the bench. Not all of them faced Abel’s Palmeiras.

Verdão will reach 420 matches under the guidance of the Portuguese coaching staff. In the same period, the opponent has taken the field 395 times.

The huge gap is also reflected in the silverware. Abel’s Palmeiras has won 11 titles compared to just three. Ramón Díaz and Dorival Júnior came out on top on the other side with 60 and 66 matches, respectively.

From the list, Vagner Mancini and António Oliveira were sacked after defeats to Palmeiras. Danilo, as interim coach, also led the rival in the derby.
