"RB Leipzig” officially selected a new coach.

The Leipzig club officially announced that Ole Werner will be replaced in the head coach position by Argentine Martín Demichelis.

M. Demichelis left the Mallorca club, with which he had signed a new contract after the end of the season. He tried to help the club remain in La Liga at the end of the season, but the effort was unsuccessful, despite collecting 18 points over the last 12 rounds.

O. Werner did not meet Jurgen Klopp's expectations, who oversees the entire Red Bull football system.

¡Bienvenido, Micho! 👋

RB Leipzig hat Martín #Demichelis als neuen Cheftrainer verpflichtet. Der 45-jährige Argentinier unterschreibt bei den Roten Bullen einen Vertrag bis zum 30. Juni 2028.
