Martin Demichelis is the new coach of RB Leipzig

 RB Leipzig have announced that Martin Demichelis has been appointed as their new coach. The 45-year-old Argentine signed a contract with the club until June 30, 2028. Previously, he managed the team from Mallorca, and his selection as Leipzig's coach was made after fruitful talks with the club. "I was convinced by talks with the club and its sports vision," said the new coach in the club's official statement. RB Leipzig is an ambitious team with a clear identity, unique talents and the determination to constantly develop at the highest level. This is exactly the type of challenge I was looking for. After a year of work by Ole Werner, who finished the season with third place in the Bundesliga, Demichelis will now have the task of leading Leipzig to even greater successes and competition in the Champions League. "I have great respect for the work done here so far. I want to build on these foundations and take the next steps together with the team. I intend to create a team that plays bold, intense and exciting football, takes responsibility on the pitch and inspires the people of Leipzig with its passion." Finally, he added: "I can't wait to lead Leipzig in the Champions League. Competing against the best in Europe is an incredible challenge and the place where a club with the ambition and quality that Leipzig has belongs. I'm looking forward to these special evenings with the team."
