RB Leipzig is set to appoint Martin Demichelis as the club’s new head coach, activating a release clause to pry the Argentine away from RCD Mallorca.
Demichelis only extended his contract with Mallorca through June 2028 on May 28, 2026. Leipzig came knocking again, this time apparently with enough conviction to trigger whatever exit mechanism was baked into the deal.
A second swing at Demichelis
This isn’t Leipzig’s first attempt to land the former Manchester City and Bayern Munich defender. The German club approached Demichelis during the 2024/25 winter transfer window, when he was managing Mexican side Monterrey. He turned them down.
Demichelis then moved to RCD Mallorca, signing on February 26, 2026. His work with the La Liga club apparently impressed the Leipzig brass enough to circle back with renewed interest.
