Demichelis arrives at RB Leipzig and starts pre-season work

Demichelis arrives at RB Leipzig and starts pre-season work Although the RB Leipzig players will only return for physical tests on July 11, new head coach Martín Demichelis has already started work at the Cottaweg training center for the 2026/2027 season. He arrived full of enthusiasm and devoted his first day to getting to know the club’s staff and facilities — including the youth academy — while also immediately beginning preparations for pre-season. Squad planning is currently the top priority, with Demichelis actively working on building the team alongside managing director for sport Marcel Schäfer and sporting director Sebastian Schuppan. According to Schäfer, the coach was the ideal choice for the role because he perfectly combines tactics, physical demands, and passion. The style of play promised by the coach is an “attack-mode football,” focused on extreme intensity, high pressing, quick ball recovery, and vertical transitions. Until reuniting with the first team squad, Demichelis will continue using the time to adapt to the club’s structure and make the key decisions for the start of the new season.
