García and Mossa: UD Las Palmas’ Return to ‘Pimientismo’

Certainly, here’s a translation with a unique British English touch:


An end to experimental pragmatism. The style debate is up in the air. UD are once more keen on possession. The appointment of Luis García Fernández (Oviedo, 44) and his assistant José María Angresola ‘Mossa’ (Valencia, 36) harks back to the golden era of the refined ‘pimientismo’ in Las Palmas. A return to infinite possession and the true significance of the academy player. Back to basics. The club announced yesterday the signing of the former RCD Espanyol manager, as well as the Qatar national team coach, for a season with a further year if promotion is secured. Arriving with Mossa, a former Oviedo player, who was Ziganda’s assistant at Huesca and shared an exotic journey with Luis García for the 55th-ranked FIFA side. They will be presented at the end of the month, and the news comes thirteen days post-season’s end (which occurred on 24th May at Cornellà with Diego Martínez’s sixth consecutive defeat, having won just two matches in the last twenty rounds). A marked contrast to the situation with Luis Carrión in 2024, where a 30-day wait ensued until Real Oviedo were eliminated in the playoffs.

Mixed Philosophy

From José Mel Pérez’s dismissal (23rd January 2022) to Luis García’s announcement, a span of three years and four months (1,231 days) has passed. The novelist arrived on the Island on 4th March 2019, remaining for four seasons with a philosophy that blended possession, aesthetic flair, and a more direct approach. He played a pivotal role in supporting talents like Álvaro Valles, Sergi Cardona, Kirian, Alberto Moleiro, Saúl Coco, Álex Suárez, or Pedri.

The Madrid native left behind the historical figure of 128 matches managed with UD, making him the club’s fourth most present manager. He managed to beat Tenerife three times as the yellow coach, once at Heliodoro (breaking a 21-year negative streak). The shift to Pimienta, 105 matches managed, with one promotion and a survival – a feat not seen since 2001 with Kresic. He orchestrated a playoff (2022) and, despite being eliminated by Tenerife in the semi-finals, re-engaged the young audience. In the following season, 22-23, the seventh promotion year, 437,526 faithful supporters paraded through Gran Canaria – the best attendance record in UD’s history in the second tier.

Recapturing the Stands

The Barcelonian concluded his tenure with fourteen winless rounds and a bleak streak of eight consecutive defeats. Luis Carrión (zero wins in nine rounds) didn’t quite succeed. He endorsed a more direct style and shunned futile possession. The choice of Diego Martínez (29 league games, eight victories) proved a shortcut to relegation. Now, it’s Luis García, the fifth conductor in just over three years. The aim is to return to the ‘pimientismo’ time zone. A golden era that enchanted the crowd (an average of 20,835 spectators) and achieved direct promotion.
