Palmeiras' new coach, Abel Ferreira, arrived in São Paulo early this Monday (02) to begin his career as the team's coach, which has been without a coach since Vanderlei Luxemburgo was fired two weeks ago. Exhausted by the exhausting marathon of travel he has faced in recent days, the Portuguese coach was welcomed by Palmeiras' staff and spoke briefly with the press who were present at the arrivals at Terminal 3 of Cumbica Airport. – I apologize, as I am extremely tired. These have been intense days, a completely different time zone, I have just arrived, but I am undoubtedly very motivated to make history here – said the coach, who will go to Allianz Parque this afternoon to watch the game between Palmeiras and Atlético-MG, for the Brasileirão. Regarding his expectations with the work at Brazil's greatest champion, Abel Ferreira demonstrated his knowledge of the size of the challenge, but said he likes that about football. – It is a great club, with a great squad, a great Academy. It offers all the conditions for the professionals to be successful. A project that appealed to me. It's true that I had two more years on my contract, and all parties had to give in. I know that the pressure here is very high, but that's how I like to experience football – concluded the new coach of the team. Abel Ferreira will leave his bags at the hotel and, soon after, he will meet the CT and the Palmeiras players. This Tuesday (3), the coach will lead his first training session for Verdão. The official presentation should take place on Wednesday (4) and, if all the paperwork and work visa bureaucracy is cleared, he will make his debut on the bench against Red Bull Bragantino, next Thursday (05), at Allianz Parque, for the round of 16 of the Copa do Brasil. Along with Abel, his assistants Carlos Martinho and Vitor Castanheira, physical trainer João Martins, and, finally, performance analyst Tiago Costa also arrived. #NossoPalestra #Palmeiras #AbelFerreira SUBSCRIBE TO OUR TALK!
