LaLiga Third replacement for Setien this season

For the third time in 2017, Las Palmas have announced the appointment of a new coach with Paco Jemez coming in following the doomed spell of Pako Ayestaran.

Los Amarillos have truly struggled to replace Quique Setien since the Real Betis coach left in the summer, with Manolo Marquez the first to come in before departing with the side struggling in a relegation battle.

Jemez now arrives with the club 19th in LaLiga, four points from safety with most of the sides around them possessing a game in hand.

It is the former Cruz Azul boss' second spell in charge, having taken over for just less than 12 months when the club was in the Segunda Division in 2010.

Due to be presented to the media when the team return for their winter break on December 27, Jemez has already indicated to the Las Palmas board some of his ideal January market signings, including free agent midfielder Gabriel Penalba.
