Together with sporting director Sebastian Schuppan, Demichelis was shown the facilities. His first impression: “very good, very nice,” RB recorded in a video. The Argentine succeeds Ole Werner and signed a two-year contract.
Demichelis most recently worked for Spanish first-division club Mallorca. RB football chief Jürgen Klopp was instrumental in bringing in the former Bayern player. In Leipzig, Demichelis will meet Mario Gomez, the technical director in Klopp’s team – both played together at Bayern Munich in the 2009/2010 season.
Managing director for sport Marcel Schäfer praised the new coach to “Bild”: “We want to win games. That comes through a tactical component, through a physical component. And there is this enthusiasm, this fire, this passion. Martin embodies all of that.”
Preseason starts on July 13 with a public training session. The first test match under Demichelis will take place on July 18 at 2:00 PM at the Markranstädt stadium against Altglienicke.
