Diego Martinez Takes Helm at Las Palmas Amidst Struggles

Las Palmas appoints former Espanyol manager Diego Martinez as their new coach until June 2025. The decision follows the team's poor performance this season in LaLiga, having not won any matches thus far. Martinez brings experience from LaLiga and European competitions with Granada and Olympiacos.

Las Palmas has appointed Diego Martinez, the former Espanyol boss, as their new coach. The contract runs until June 2025, with an extra season option if the team avoids relegation. This move follows the club's separation from Luis Carrion as they languish at the bottom of the LaLiga standings.

The team's performance has been dismal, failing to secure a win in their nine LaLiga matches so far. They have drawn three and lost six games, heightening the urgency for a change in leadership. Martinez, with a robust resume of over 100 LaLiga matches and experience in European competitions like the UEFA Europa League, was identified as the man to turn things around.

Las Palmas hopes for a fresh start as they prepare to face 18th-placed Valencia on October 21.
