Coach Luis García has shown signs of a potential departure from UD Las Palmas, prompting the club to consider other managerial candidates.

The continuity of coach Luis García with UD Las Palmas is becoming increasingly uncertain. Despite having a renewal offer on the table, the coach has conveyed messages to his close circle in Gran Canaria indicating a definitive farewell, a situation that has already been communicated to the club.
García Fernández, who acknowledged receiving an offer from the club on March 20th, has avoided discussing his future in recent press conferences, stating only that "now is not the time to talk about it." The club, while pleased with his methodology, is compelled to explore other options due to the lack of concrete decisions.

The elimination against Málaga in the promotion playoffs caused fan doubts, with 80% of readers of this newspaper favoring his non-renewal in a recent poll. Farewell signals, including alleged moving arrangements, reinforce the perception of a possible departure.
In the coaching market, Luis García's name has been linked to Real Mallorca, although his potential exit would be subject to a 10 million euro release clause.
Facing this scenario, UD Las Palmas's sporting management views Álex García Casañas, currently assistant to García Pimienta, as a viable alternative for the bench. García Casañas, with prior experience at FC Barcelona and Sabadell, was previously considered a potential option.
