The administration board presided by Miguel Ángel Ramírez, following their meeting late last night after the last 32 round match of the Spanish Cup between UD Las Palmas and Deportivo de La Coruña was over, took the decision to replace Pako Ayestarán as manager of the first team.
The club would like to thank the Basque trainer for his work and dedication to the job of running the team since arriving here at the end of September. His support team of David Caneda and José Viela, have also had their contracts terminated.
Pako Ayestarán, having replaced Manolo Márquez in the seventh week of the league, led UD Las Palmas in seven league matches (with seven defeats and one draw, gained against Real Sociedad) and a further two games in the Spanish Cup (one victory in Riazor 1-4, plus last night’s defeat against the same team 2-3).
Until a replacement has been found, Paquito Ortiz and Rafa Cristóbal will be running first team affairs.
