After dismissing Ole Werner on Wednesday, two-time DFB Pokal winners RB Leipzig have now picked Martín Demichelis to succeed the former Werder Bremen manager. Demichelis, who last managed at Real Mallorca, has been appointed on a two-year contract. A release clause fee of €2.5m has reportedly been paid to the Spanish island club, according to Bild.
The appointment was warmly welcomed by the club's managing director, Marcel Schaefer, who commented: "Martin is a great manager, he brings a high level of competence with a system which combines intense football and a clear line on the type of play he wants to play."
The former Atletico Madrid manager underlined his motivation for making the switch to the German club: "I want to create a side that plays bold, intense and exciting football."
The Argentine also emphasised his attraction to working in the Bundesliga: "Testing ourselves against Europe's best is also an incredible challenge for me".
