Las Palmas Chooses Replacement for García Pimienta
The UD Las Palmas suffered a major blow with the departure of Xavier García Pimienta to Sevilla. However, there is no time to waste, and in Gran Canaria, they have already chosen his replacement for the 2024-25 season. Barring any surprises, the new coach of the yellow team will be Luis Carrión, the current coach of Real Oviedo, a team deeply involved in the promotion playoff to LaLiga.
The priority for Carrión will be the playoff for promotion. While there are rumors about him taking over at Las Palmas, the coach himself states that nothing is official yet. Reports from the Canary Islands suggest that there might even be a pre-contract signed between both parties. With Real Oviedo’s current sporting situation, Carrión would want to avoid any distractions and focus on the promotion playoff.
Therefore, his arrival at UD Las Palmas will not be made official until Real Oviedo’s playoff journey concludes. This means it will be announced either on Wednesday, June 12th if they are eliminated by Eibar, or on Sunday, June 23rd, if they advance to the final after the semifinal against Real Sporting or Espanyol.
