UD Las Palmas and its bench are facing an imminent change. The possible departure of Luis García after failing to promote to LaLiga EA Sports opens a period of uncertainty at the Estadio de Gran Canaria. UD Las Palmas president Miguel Ángel Ramírez holds a press conference with the first previews of the Canarian team in the new 2026-27 season in LaLiga Hypermotion. The yellow directive is looking for a technical profile capable of recovering the club's historical identity: possession football and offensive vocation. Álex García, García Pimienta's right-hand man, has emerged strongly in the agenda of sports director Luis Helguera. Álex García worked as a close collaborator of García Pimienta in his previous yellow stage as well as in Sevilla. His profile fits the tactical pattern that the club intends to restore. The reality of the offices differs from what is indicated in the insular media. Helguera and the rest of the sports leadership have not contacted the Catalan coach to offer him the position. The surprise in his environment is absolute. The supposed interest of the Union Deportiva is alien to him. It was not in his short-term professional plans. Loyalty marks the coach's roadmap. His intention would be to maintain the work block alongside García Pimienta. Any movement outside of that axis would mean an unexpected break in his trajectory. Luis Helguera knows García's ability to read the game and the personal relationship between them is fluid. Álex García's previous stint at Las Palmas left a positive balance among the fans. He is a natural candidate for those who miss the style implemented under the Pimienta era. The sports management handles an extensive list of possibilities and has not surpassed the initial analysis phase. The immediate future of UD Las Palmas depends on a technical structure capable of exciting a social mass disappointed because the team has not promoted. Prudence guides Helguera's movements. The wait, while Luis García's goodbye is not confirmed, will keep the Barcelonan as a latent option in the list of candidates that slip through the corridors of Barranco Seco. The Union Deportiva needs a definitive turning point. The Canarian team is looking to recover its identity and become competitive in the league again. The next season will be crucial for the future of UD Las Palmas. The team needs a coach who can motivate the players and lead the team to victory. Álex García could be the right man for the job. His experience and knowledge of the game could be key to the team's success. UD Las Palmas is at a crossroads and needs to make the right decision for its future.
