BARCELONA (Reuters) - Las Palmas coach Manolo Marquez has become the third La Liga manager to leave his job this season, calling a surprise news conference on Tuesday to announce his resignation after losing four of the first six games of the campaign. Las Palmas are 15th in the standings with six points and Marquez's last game in charge was a 2-0 home defeat by Leganes on Sunday. Marquez had never coached a top-flight side before landing the job in July after leading the club's reserve team to promotion. "I want to thank the president because he believed in me and I'm annoyed I couldn't return that confidence," Marquez added. "Some people think I'm crazy but I think honesty should come first.
