RB Leipzig may be facing a coaching change as club icon Martin Demichelis from Bayern Munich is rumored to succeed Ole Werner. Mats Hummels, a former teammate of Demichelis, expressed surprise over the rumors, stating, "I was very surprised when I heard about it." Hummels had recently played padel with Demichelis in Mallorca and congratulated him on his contract extension. Despite a strong season where RB Leipzig finished third in the Bundesliga and qualified for the Champions League, there are internal discussions about Werner's future.

Reports indicate that there are two factions within the club. While the RB Leipzig management would like to continue with Werner, the decision-makers at Red Bull are leaning towards a coaching change. Hummels praised RB Leipzig's performance under Ole Werner, saying, "I thought RB had a good season under Ole Werner." He was surprised that a coaching change was even being discussed.

Demichelis is reportedly close to signing with RB Leipzig, with offers on the table that he is inclined to accept. Reports from "Radio Marca" and "La Ultima Hora" suggest that he is on the verge of signing. However, according to "Sky," no final decision has been made yet. RCD Mallorca may be limited in this situation due to a release clause in Demichelis' contract. The 45-year-old had previously been courted by RB Leipzig last year but declined at that time.
