Quique Setien announces he's leaving Las Palmas

Quique Setien has announced he's leaving the Las Palmas job 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.

Former Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri is an early contender for the job.
