President of Palmeiras, Leila Pereira broke the silence about the alleged interest of the CBF in Abel to command the Selection; Dorival Jr. and Fernando Diniz would also be on the radar
Leila Pereirapresident of palm treeswas candid about the chances of Abel Ferreira take command of Brazilian Team. The Portuguese would be among one of the names cited by CBF to take over Canarinho after the departure of Titelike this Dorival Jr. (technician of São Paulo) It is Fernando Diniz (trainer of Fluminense).
“The CBF never contacted us to talk about Abel and I hope they don’t. I hope he stays with us for a long time, he is very happy here, he has a lot of support. Here he is at his house. I wouldn’t want to have this conversation with the president Ednaldo [Rodrigues] (CBF agent), a person I respect, I like a lot, he does a great job at CBF, but leave Abel here with us”declared Leila, laughing, in an interview with “GE”.
Even though he is one of the options of the sport’s highest body in the country, the coach’s personality, which has already earned him several cards and disagreements during matches and press conferences, is seen as one of the unfavorable points in a possible hiring. “He is hardworking, competent, intense, maddened by victory, like me”defended Leila.
“I see many journalists who say that the palm trees talked about Abel’s temper. Lie. I never questioned Abel’s temperament or asked him to change. On the contrary. I always talk to him to give him strength, to be what he is. If he didn’t have that personality, he wouldn’t be the coach he is”. Palmeiras returns to the field for the classic against São Pauloaway from home, this Sunday, 11.
