Martin Demichelis linked to Rasenballsport Leipzig managerial position
Summary

Martin Demichelis, current head coach of RCD Mallorca, is reportedly in talks to become the new manager of Rasenballsport Leipzig, pending Ole Werner's dismissal. Leipzig finished 3rd in the 2025/26 Bundesliga, securing Champions League football, but Werner's job is at risk following a disappointing season. Demichelis, a former Bayern Munich player, previously managed Bayern's U-19s and U-23s, and had stints with River Plate and Monterrey FC. The potential move would represent a significant opportunity for Demichelis and would come shortly after he extended his contract with Mallorca until 2028.
