Las Palmas will announce its new coach “next week.”
Ramírez admits that the sports management has the coach’s name “pretty clear.”
While the team travels to the United States to play a friendly with only four first-team players, work is underway in Gran Canaria to lay the foundations for a new project. One that will differ significantly from the current one . According to club president Miguel Ángel Ramírez , “50 percent of the squad will stay.” He’s talking about players like Horkas, Viti, Fuster, Marc, Álex Suárez, Loiodice … who are under contract. A list that, until offers arrive, will also include Moleiro and Mika Mármol .
Regarding these two players, especially focusing on the youth team, he spoke on club radio : “There will be players who will leave, although we would like them to stay.” But he made it clear that “the club has to sell. We spent four million euros more, but the relegation wasn’t due to a financial problem. We put everything we had into staying, so we need extra income.”
The path the sporting directorate will take is also crystal clear, according to the president’s statements . In addition to those who remain, “there will be four or five players from the youth academy and the rest with reinforcements to help us. A good squad that will excite us.” But the most immediate need is to know the name of the coach. Rubén de la Barrera is the man Luis Helguera wants . The president knows this, although negotiations with the Galician remain. Ramírez hopes this decision won’t be delayed too long: “The sporting directorate is quite clear and will make a final decision next week.”
