Ayestarán, 54, took over as manager from Manolo Marquez on September 27. Assistants David Caneda and Jose Viela have also been sacked.
“The administrative council presided by Miguel Ángel Ramírez, after a metting held tonight (Wednesday) following the end of the Copa del Rey round of 16 match between UD Las Palmas and Deportivo La Coruña, has decided to sack Pako Ayestarán as manager of the first team,” the club announced in a statement.
“The club would like to thank the Basque manager for his work and dedication in charge of yellow bench since his arrival towards the end of September.”
Ayestarán leaves after winning only one of out nine matches, while drawing another and losing seven.
Paquito Ortiz and Rafa Cristóbal will be in charge until a new manager is hired.
