Quique Setien to leave role as UD Las Palmas coach in the summer
Setien took charge in 2015 and has helped the Canary Islanders improve
Las Palmas beat Villarreal 1-0 on Friday night to move 11th in the table
Las Palmas coach Quique Setien has revealed that he will not renew his contract with the La Liga club and will leave his position at the end of the season.
Setien called a press conference on Saturday to reveal his decision, telling journalists that a series of "differences" which could not be overcome had made his mind up.
The coach thanked the club for giving him the chance to debut in La Liga and asked the players to "give everything to make the fans feel proud now more than ever."
Setien took over Las Palmas in October 2015 and led them to safety last season as they displayed exciting, attacking football.
That pattern has continued into the current campaign and the Canary Islanders have become known as one of La Liga's most fun sides.
They beat Villarreal 1-0 on Friday night and are currently 11th in the table with 35 points from their 28 games.
Setien, 58, had previosuly spent six years in charge of Lugo and before that had coached Logroñes, Equatorial Guinea, Poli Ejido and Racing Santander.
