Ex-Sporting star wanted by Varandas: They've already called me | OneFootball

Palmeiras achieved a historic triumph, winning 4-0 against LDU Quito. At the end of the match, Abel did not want to talk about a contract renewal, only stating that he had been contacted by several clubs—with Sporting being one of the interested parties, still in 2024.

“I don’t need to sign a contract, Leila knows what I want. I was hurt by what I heard from some of the fans, I wasn’t expecting it,” admitted the Palmeiras coach, who had several supporters asking him to leave the club.

“That’s why I say to Leila: there’s no point in signing, because I won’t stay if there aren’t the right conditions to sign. Clubs from everywhere have already called me,” admitted Abel Ferreira, after once again reaching the final of the Libertadores with Verdão.

Criticism of Abel Ferreira mainly arose after Palmeiras was eliminated from the Copa do Brasil by Corinthians. At the end of that match, when asked what he wanted to do, the former Sporting man was direct: “I wanted to hug my daughter, who is in Portugal.”

It’s worth remembering that Abel Ferreira was approached by Sporting after João Pereira’s departure, to take charge of the main team. However, the coach did not want to return and Frederico Varandas chose Rui Borges, who was then managing Vitória de Guimarães.
