Former Bayern Stalwart Demichelis Takes over at RB Leipzig
The former Argentina defender arrives after leading Mallorca to an eight-game unbeaten run and a win over Real Madrid.
- On Monday, the German club RB Leipzig announced Martin Demichelis, a former Argentina international, as manager after he signed a two-season contract.
- Demichelis replaces Ole Werner, who was sacked on Wednesday after just one season in charge of the Saxon side, with the club citing dissatisfaction with the team's "performance."
- The 45-year-old brings extensive experience, having won 51 international caps for Argentina and league titles with River Plate, Bayern Munich, and Manchester City before coaching at Malaga and Bayern.
- "That international perspective is an excellent fit for RB Leipzig and our global outlook," said Marcel Schaefer, Leipzig's managing director for sport, as the team qualified for the Champions League.
- Demichelis aims to create a side playing "bold, intense" football, building on his recent stint at Mallorca where he oversaw an eight-game unbeaten record and a victory over Real Madrid.
