Las Palmas Eyes Luis Carrion as Top Choice with García Pimienta Set for Sevilla Switch

Las Palmas Faces New Era as García Pimienta Heads to Sevilla

Change is stirring in Gran Canaria. Francisco García Pimienta is packing his bags for Sevilla, leaving Las Palmas on the hunt for their next head coach at a pivotal time. The club isn’t just looking for a name—they're searching for someone who can keep their La Liga dreams alive.

The search kicked into high gear the moment Sevilla confirmed their interest in García Pimienta. For Las Palmas, this isn’t just about filling a vacancy. It’s about making a statement: survival in the top flight depends on getting this pick right.

Who’s on Las Palmas’ Shortlist?

Three names have risen to the top, but one stands out above the rest: Luis Carrion. He’s busy steering Real Oviedo’s promotion push in the Segunda División, and that’s the catch. Las Palmas can’t start serious talks until Oviedo’s playoff hopes are settled. If Carrion is freed up soon, he’s clearly the top priority due to his recent track record and adaptive game strategies.

Carrion isn’t the only candidate in play. Rubén Albes, recently at the helm of Albacete, offers a creative approach and has earned a solid reputation for organizing teams on tight budgets. Though not as high-profile, his experience managing teams under pressure could come in handy in the unforgiving world of La Liga.

Then there’s Oscar García Junyent. He isn’t just another name—his background at Barcelona’s renowned coaching academy mirrors the CV of departing García Pimienta. The club sees value in someone who understands possession-based, attacking football; exactly what Las Palmas has embraced under García Pimienta. For a club known for its technical style, this connection to Barcelona’s philosophy is more than a box to tick—it’s a guiding principle shaping their shortlist.

Las Palmas faces a tricky wait. Everything hangs on Real Oviedo’s playoff outcome. If Carrion takes his team up, he might stay where he is. That puts extra weight on Albes and García Junyent’s candidacies. Club insiders point out that personality, philosophy, and an ability to handle the heat of a La Liga relegation battle all factor in. The final decision will pivot not just on availability, but on who fits a club culture that prioritizes youth, possession, and survival at the elite level.

There’s pressure from all sides—fans want continuity and success, the board wants to cement their place in La Liga, and the clock keeps ticking. All eyes now are on Oviedo’s fate and Las Palmas’ next move. One thing’s for sure: whoever gets the job won’t be walking into a quiet summer.
