Palmeiras seek stay for Abel, await STJD ruling | OneFootball

Palmeiras has requested a suspensive effect from the Superior Court of Sports Justice (STJD) so it can have Abel Ferreira available after the coach received an eight-match suspension following a ruling by the 2nd Disciplinary Committee over his dismissals in matches against São Paulo and Fluminense in the Brazilian Championship.

For now, the club is awaiting a response from the legal body to find out whether the coach will be available for the derby against Corinthians, which takes place this Sunday in the 11th round of the Brasileirão. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m. (Brasília time) at Neo Química Arena in São Paulo (SP).

Palmeiras believes the decision was disproportionate to the events that occurred.

Abel Ferreira has already served two matches of automatic suspension, meaning he could still have another six games left to serve. Palmeiras, according to what the report learned, will also seek a suspensive effect so the coach can remain on the bench while awaiting the second-instance ruling.

Case recap

In both cases, Abel Ferreira was charged and convicted under Article 258 of the CBJD (Brazilian Code of Sports Justice), with the additional application of paragraph 2, II, in the derby against São Paulo.

Against Fluminense, Abel was sent off after the match for, according to referee Felipe Fernandes de Lima, “addressing the officiating in a rude manner, gesturing with his arms and clapping ironically.” For this act, Abel was tried and sentenced to serve a two-match suspension.

In the derby against São Paulo, Abel was sent off in the 33rd minute of the second half for “persistently complaining about the refereeing decisions,” according to Anderson Daronco’s match report. The match referee also added that the Portuguese coach insulted him with the term “coward” after the red card. Given this scenario and the repeated nature of the acts, the STJD committee decided on the maximum punishment of six matches.
