OFFICIAL: Diego Martinez, new coach of Las Palmas 5d152e

UD Las Palmas has announced Diego Martínez as their new coach, hoping he will steer the team in LaLiga back on track after the departure of Luis Carrión. The 42-year-old Galician coach will take charge of the team with a contract that includes the option to extend his deal for another season if ensuring the team remains in the top flight.

This appointment comes at a critical time as Las Palmas currently sits at the bottom of the table after nine matchdays, with only three points and no victories.

Las Palmas Seek Rebirth in LaLiga 6v6n17

Martínez brings extensive coaching experience, having worked with renowned teams like Sevilla FC as an assistant coach, as well as managing Sevilla Atlético, CA Osasuna, Granada CF, RCD Espanyol, and most recently, Olympiacos. With over 100 LaLiga matches and European competition experience, his greatest achievement so far was Granada's promotion to La Liga followed by a historic qualification for the Europa League with the same team.

He will be formally presented tomorrow as the coach of Las Palmas at 16:30 at the Ciudad Deportiva. The Canarian team hopes that Martínez will contribute his experience and leadership to turn around their challenging situation in the league, ahead of their next match against Valencia CF on October 21 at Mestalla.
