Abel Ferreira, the head coach of Palmeiras, has turned down an offer from Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. The proposal was presented in early September following the dismissal of fellow Portuguese Nuno Espírito Santo from the English club.
Details of the Premier League Offer
The offer to Abel Ferreira was made shortly after Nottingham Forest parted ways with Nuno Espírito Santo on September 8. Ferreira rejected the proposal swiftly, showing no interest in negotiating further with the club.
Nottingham Forest’s Subsequent Decision
- After Ferreira’s refusal, Nottingham Forest appointed Ange Postecoglou as their head coach.
- Postecoglou was previously the manager of Tottenham Hotspur.
Current Situation with Palmeiras
Abel Ferreira is nearing the end of his contract with Palmeiras, which currently runs until December 2025. Despite talks of an extension until the end of 2027, no official agreement has been reached. Club president Leila Pereira stated, “Only Abel’s signature is missing.”
Focus on Upcoming Matches
Meanwhile, Ferreira continues to concentrate on his duties. He recently traveled to Portugal during the FIFA international break and returned on Monday, September 8. His attention is now directed towards two crucial matches:
- Upcoming fixture against Internacional in the Brasileirão.
- Quarterfinals of the Conmebol Libertadores against River Plate, scheduled for September 17 and 24.
