Las Palmas have decided to sack their manager, Paco Herrera, in the wake of their poor results in the eight matches played so far in La Liga. The Canary Island team have won just once, along with two draws and five defeats; of which the last three came in consecutive matches.

The manager becomes the first to be fired in the Primera División in the 2015/16 season.

The heavy defeat in their last match, 4-0 against Getafe, and the fact they are second bottom on just five points has led to the board of directors' decision to dispense with the services of the manager that took the Island side to promotion last season.

The club made an official announcement via their website, in which they highlight Herrera's achievements last season (winning promotion) as well as, "thanking him for his dedication, professionalism, hard work, loyalty and sincerity right from the first day he took charge of the team. We wish him every success in his work for the future and we acknowledge that he gave us one of the happiest chapters of this club's history, promotion to the Primera División".
