Hijo Demichelis to coach Malaga

Demichelis replaces Jose Alberto Lopez

Demichelis, former Bayern Munich and Manchester City defender, will take over as coach of Malaga

Former Bayern Munich and Manchester City defender Martin Demichelis has been appointed as the new coach of Malaga. Demichelis replaces Jose Alberto Lopez, who was sacked on Sunday following a run of poor results.

Demichelis has been out of work since leaving River Plate in March 2022. The 42-year-old had a successful playing career, winning the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich and the Premier League with Manchester City.

Malaga are currently 19th in the Segunda Division, the second tier of Spanish football. The club has won just one of their last five matches.
