Overview
- Multiple Spanish outlets on June 12 reported that Martín Demichelis has agreed to become RB Leipzig’s new head coach, but neither RB Leipzig nor RCD Mallorca have officially confirmed the move.
- Reporting says Leipzig’s leadership has grown dissatisfied with Ole Werner’s long-term fit despite his guiding the club to third place and Champions League qualification.
- Sources in Spain and Argentina say Demichelis recently extended his Mallorca deal to 2028 but that the contract includes an exit clause that could be triggered for a reported release fee of about €3 million, a figure that remains unverified.
- RCD Mallorca were reportedly surprised to learn of Demichelis’s apparent decision through media reports, and the club has not publicly acknowledged any agreement.
- Leipzig’s supervisory figures named in coverage include Oliver Mintzlaff and the club’s global football group linked to Jürgen Klopp and Mario Gómez, and a coaching change could shift Leipzig’s tactical direction and transfer planning ahead of the Champions League season.
