Palmeiras is currently on a three-game losing streak. The defeat against Flamengo on Wednesday (31) in the first leg of the Copa do Brasil Round of 16 was the team’s third consecutive loss. If Palmeiras loses their next match against Internacional on Sunday (4) at 5 PM in Porto Alegre, it will mark the worst losing streak for coach Abel Ferreira since he took charge of the club. Despite the current poor form, Ferreira remains highly regarded at the club. President Leila Pereira has expressed her desire to retain the coach until the end of a possible second term, which would extend until 2027. Ferreira’s current contract with Palmeiras is valid until December 2025.
In 2021, Ferreira experienced a similar situation, losing three games in a row to Fluminense, São Paulo, and Fortaleza, and drawing with Atlético-MG towards the end of the Campeonato Brasileiro that year. During that period, Palmeiras was focused on the Copa Libertadores final against Flamengo. Despite the setbacks, the team went on to win the final against the Carioca side and secured their second consecutive Libertadores title, easing the pressure on Ferreira.
Palmeiras has not lost four consecutive matches since October 2020, which led to the dismissal of coach Vanderlei Luxemburgo. Shortly thereafter, Abel Ferreira was appointed as the new coach.
Despite the current poor form, Ferreira remains highly regarded at the club. President Leila Pereira has expressed her desire to retain the coach until the end of a possible second term, which would extend until 2027. Ferreira’s current contract with Palmeiras is valid until December 2025.
