Martín Demichelis: A Difficult Path in Monterrey

Martín Demichelis has faced challenges since his arrival in Monterrey, where fans hoped he would lead the team to the achievement of a title. However, painful eliminations and disappointing results have marked his tenure at Rayados. Despite this, his name is being mentioned as a possible option for other clubs.

The Argentine coach finds himself in a tense environment, as a crucial match for qualification to the quarter-finals of Liga MX approaches. Meanwhile, reports from Germany suggest that his name is being considered to take over from Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen.

During his time in charge of Rayados, Demichelis has managed 40 matches in 257 days, with a record of 18 wins, 11 draws, and 11 losses. One of the most notable moments, although negative, was the defeat in the final against América, losing the opportunity to obtain the championship despite having a talented squad.

Amid rumors about Carlo Ancelotti's possible departure, Xabi Alonso emerges as one of the main candidates to take on that challenge. However, other names such as Francesco Farioli, Xavi Hernández, Sandro Wagner, Fabian Hürzeler, and Kasper Hjulmand are also being mentioned as possible options for the position in question. The selection of the new coach for Bayer Leverkusen is generating interest and speculation in the football world.

The future of Martín Demichelis at the Mexican club is uncertain, but his name on the list of candidates to manage a European team like Bayer Leverkusen opens the door to new opportunities in his career as a coach.
