A few days before the start of the 2023/24 season, Francisco Xavier Garcia Pepper will face his first experience in the elite at UD Las Palmas. Like every year, the relegation battle will leave winners and losers in a season where UD Las Palmas will once again fight to stay in the First Division
The UD Las Palmas coach will continue with a recipe that has not failed him: have a ballgenerate many chances (22 shots on the post with LaLiga Smartbank), and then apply good pressure, win duels, to recover the ball quickly in addition to avoid losses so that they do not run to the yellow back, where there is a risk of leaving many spaces because their players are very high.
García Pimienta is one of those who promote a good job, giving work to that job as normal as possible. The coach of UD Las Palmas was promoted but within his best achievement was another: witnessing the recovery of the player from Tenerife Kirian Rodríguez after overcoming cancer. “The most resounding victory of this season,” García Pimienta said in May after the promotion.
García Pimienta arrived at Unión Deportiva Las Palmas in January 2022 after his time as coach of FC Barcelona B to provide continuation in the project that started in the 2018-2019 season, based on a progressive rejuvenation of the squad and the continued integration of young talents from abroad and from home.
García Pimienta, 49, started his career on the bench in FC Barcelona’s youth soccer teams, 2017-2018 youth team of the youth team of the Barça team, where they champion and European league champion in the UEFA Youth League, and later jumped to FC Barcelona B, where he stayed for 102 games until 2021. He has been the technical director who has directed Barça club teams for the longest time, for 17 years, highlighting UD Las Palmas.
In Las Palmas García Pimienta was liked because of his curriculum is closely related to the work of the quarry and connected to a game model very close to UD Las Palmas to achieve the short and long-term goals set by the Canarian board of directors, which include promotion to LaLiga EA Sports.
