Abel Ferreira has established himself as the most decorated coach in Palmeiras history, winning his 11th trophy with the club. This historic milestone was achieved after a 2-1 victory over Novorizontino, which secured the Campeonato Paulista title. With this title, the Portuguese coach surpassed Oswaldo Brandão, a club legend, with whom he shared the record of ten trophies won. Ferreira now leads the list of the most successful coaches of 'Verdão' alone. Since his arrival in 2020, Abel Ferreira has been building the most victorious era in Palmeiras history, gradually surpassing other notable names who have passed through the club, such as Vanderlei Luxemburgo and Luiz Felipe Scolari. The victory in the 2026 Campeonato Paulista ends a two-year title drought for the team, whose last celebration was the 2024 State Championship. In 2025, Palmeiras finished as vice-champion in the Paulista, losing to Corinthians, and in both the Brasileirão and the Libertadores, which were won by Flamengo. Abel Ferreira renewed his contract last December, with the new deal valid until December 2027.
