After the victory, Abel says he is “fed up” and avoids talking about his future at Palmeiras


Although annoyed by the triumph and the leadership, the Portuguese coach indicates that he could leave the Sao Paulo club at the end of the year, before his contract expires

Despite the 3-0 victory over the International and the guidance of Brasileirãothe coach of Palmeiras, Abel Ferreirahe showed discomfort and irritation during the post-match press conference and even indicated that he could leave the Sao Paulo club at the end of the year, before the expiry of his contract, which runs until December 2024.

“I’m tired of these consecutive games, consecutive away games, they schedule the games, they change the games, the championship ends on the 3rd, then they change it to finish on the 7th?, complained the Portuguese coach. “It’s a lot of games in a row , many press conferences attended, many trips. I will arrive at CT at 4 am, it will be decided whether I will go home and sleep with my family or stay at CT. I don’t want it for myself.”

The coach’s irritation contrasts with the situation experienced by Palmeiras in the Brasileirão. The 3-0 victory on Saturday evening leaves the Sao Paulo team at the top of the provisional standings, with a three-point advantage over Botafogo, who will play against Red Bull Bragantino away from home on Sunday.

In the final part of the interview, Abel said that he refrained from talking about a specific topic and stopped talking. Moments later, he repeated that he was “fed up” with the current routine in charge of Palmeiras. And, when asked about the future, he said nothing: “I have to wait and see”, he declared. “Four games left.”

When questioned about the statement, he changed the subject again. “Now we have 15 days, a week to be calm,” he said, referring to the Brasileirão’s break after Sunday due to the last FIFA match of the year.

He also expressed discomfort at playing away from Allianz Parque, despite Palmeiras being in charge of the pitch. The Palmeiras stadium has been reserved for the next few days’ shows. “A team fighting to become champions like Palmeiras deserves a full stadium. We’re not even in our own stadium. If they ask us for victories and titles, then I demand them too,” he complained.

“What I always want is to play at Allianz Parque, our home. It’s where I feel comfortable. I don’t care who will solve this thing, whether the scoreboard or the WTorre, it’s not my problem, what matters to me is play at Allianz Parque. Whether we will win or lose, I don’t know. That’s our home,” he said.
