Brighton & Hove Albion have reportedly made an approach for Palmeiras manager Abel Ferreira.
Looking for a replacement for Graham Potter, who left the Seagulls for Chelsea, the club seem to have started contacts in Brazil to find a new boss.
UOL journalist Bruno Andrade writes that Brighton’s first poll was made ‘in the past few hours’. It’s said that Abel Ferreira has been ‘well evaluated’ for months behind the scenes at the Seagulls.
The coach, however, turned down the approach, showing his desire to stay at Palmeiras to win the Brazilian league title this year.
He’s protected at the club with a contract until 2024.

Brighton are close to appointing Roberto de Zerbi as manager.
The highly rated Italian has been out of work since leaving Shakhtar Donetsk in July because of the war in Ukraine.
Talks are progressing well, with the 43-year-old impressing owner Tony Bloom and chief executive Paul Barber.
De Zerbi is Brighton's first choice to replace Graham Potter, who quit to take over from Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea this month.
Former Napoli midfielder De Zerbi, who impressed during three years in charge at Italian club Sassuolo, is set to bring his coaching staff with him, although all will need work permits.
