Paco Jemez appointed Las Palmas boss

Las Palmas confirm the appointment of Paco Jemez as their new head coach on a contract until the end of the season.

Las Palmas have confirmed the appointment of Paco Jemez as their new head coach until the end of the season.

The club, who are bottom of La Liga after 17 matches of the 2017-18 campaign, have been searching for a new manager since sacking Pako Ayestaran last month.

Former Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo had been linked with the position, but Las Palmas have announced Jemez's arrival.

"UD Las Palmas has reached an agreement until the end of this season with coach Paco Jemez," read a statement on the club's official website.

"He arrives free after concluding his journey in Mexican soccer with Cruz Azul. He will be officially presented on Wednesday, December 27.

"Paco Jemez is accompanied by his backroom staff of Juan Luna Eslava, Julio Luis Munoz Saldana and Jorge Ramirez Fernandez."

The 47-year-old had a short spell in charge of Las Palmas during the 2010-11 campaign, and has also managed Cordoba, Rayo Vallecano and Granada during a coaching career that started in 2007.

Jemez is expected to be given funds to spend during the upcoming January transfer window.

Las Palmas will return to La Liga action with a home game against Eibar on January 6.
