Abel takes stock of his career at Palmeiras and mentions learning in three years

Last Monday Abel Ferreira completed three years at Palmeiras. This Saturday, after the 1-0 victory over Atletico-PR, the coach took stock of his career at the club. The Portuguese once again praised the facility offered to him in Verdão, but expressed concern for his health.

“I didn’t imagine that training in South America would be so tiring, but I imagined that I would be coaching a big club. When you have the best team, the best resources, they are the ones who win, you are closer to I didn’t hesitate when I received the invitation : “Palmeiras has history, fans, players, resources, a fabulous structure. Together with the competence of a technical team, with ambition, audacity and knowledge, we are amazed at the organization of the club,” he said.

“We didn’t expect so much organization. I’ve done a lot of tests in these three years. I’ve been through difficult periods, with my health, both physical and mental. So it’s up to me to think about “What I want. Football doesn’t make anyone healthy. Something will have to change,” he added.

Announced on October 30, 2020, Abel arrived to replace Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Since then, 246 matches have been played, with 141 wins, 59 draws and 46 defeats, as well as 421 goals scored and 197 conceded.

The commander stands out above all for the titles won. There have been two Libertadores (2020 and 2021), one Brazilian Championship (2020), one Brazilian Cup (2020), two Paulista Championships (2022 and 2023), one Brazilian Super Cup (2023) and one South American Recopa (2022).

“It’s been three years of hard work, 11 finals… There are turbulences, but mostly from the press. No Palmeiras fan has come to complain to me, it’s just gratitude. And there are fans of other teams who come to talk to me “Even with admiration. Turbulence is a part and difficult moments define true champions. Three years of lots of learning”

Abel Ferreira has a contract with Verdão until 2024. Under his command, Palmeiras will return to the pitch next Wednesday, at 9.30pm (Brasilia time), when they visit Flamengo, for the 33rd matchday of the Brasileirão.
