RB Leipzig Leadership Discusses Replacing Ole Werner With Martin Demichelis

Public denials persist while internal pressure from Red Bull football figures and club executives makes a quick decision necessary before preseason begins.

Overview

  • Multiple media outlets and unnamed insiders report intensive talks within RB’s leadership about replacing coach Ole Werner with Martin Demichelis, with Red Bull football figures named as driving the push.
  • The club has publicly said no decision has been made and that there is currently no contact or agreement with Demichelis or any other candidate.
  • Reports say Demichelis signed a contract extension at Real Mallorca reportedly through 2028 and that RB would need to buy him out with an alleged €2.5 million exit clause to secure a move.
  • Insiders believe Werner is unlikely to finish his contract through 2027 and the club’s planned preseason work creates a near-term deadline for a resolution.
  • Any change would require a formal buyout and contract negotiations for Demichelis and would immediately affect Werner’s job security while the club’s denials leave the situation unconfirmed.
