Part 3/6:
On the contrasting end, Abel Ferreira of Palmeiras sparked a debate. While he has had a long tenure with the club and enjoyed previous success, the panel highlighted what they viewed as shortcomings this season. His reluctance to adjust tactics and reliance on established players in tough scenarios were seen as factors that limited Palmeiras's potential during the season.
Felipe Luiz represented a fresh face in the mentorship scene, having transitioned successfully into his role as head coach of Flamengo. While his short-term accomplishments garnered interest, some panelists felt it was too early to commit to him as the best coach without a longer track record.
