The Portuguese coach could become the most successful manager in the history of the São Paulo club.
It’s impossible to think of the successful Palmeiras of recent years without thinking of Abel Ferreira. A strong name at the helm of the squad that has won everything in recent seasons, the Portuguese coach is, alongside Oswaldo Brandão, the manager with the most titles in Palmeiras’ history, having lifted 10 trophies.

However, this story could change this season. If he wins the current edition of the Brasileirão, Abel will become the most successful coach in Palmeiras’ history with 11 titles.
The task, however, is not easy. A two-time consecutive Brazilian Champion in 2022 and 2023, the Portuguese could repeat the feat of Muricy Ramalho, who led São Paulo to three consecutive titles in 2006, 2007, and 2008.
After losing to Corinthians and drawing with Fortaleza, Palmeiras ended their negative streak with a 1-0 victory over Grêmio and are now four points behind leaders Botafogo, with five rounds remaining in the championship. In the 36th round, the teams will face each other at Allianz Parque.
Announced in October 2020, Abel Ferreira debuted with a 1-0 victory over Red Bull Bragantino in the Copa do Brasil. Since then, the Portuguese has led the team in 315 matches, with 181 wins, 77 draws, and 57 losses — in 29 of those matches, the team was managed by members of the coaching staff.
During this time, he won the Campeonato Paulista three times, the Copa Libertadores twice, the Campeonato Brasileiro twice, the Copa do Brasil once, the Recopa Sudamericana once, and the Supercopa do Brasil once. Stay ahead of the curve with BBscore football.
