Vedat Muriqi gets a new coach as former Man City player takes charge of Mallorca

RCD Mallorca have officially announced the appointment of Martin Demichelis as the team’s new coach. The Argentine strategist has signed a contract until the end of the current La Liga season, with an option to extend it for a further year.

The club announced the news on social media with a message saying that the Argentine has taken charge of the team, where Vedat Muriqi also plays.

“Martín Demichelis, the new coach of RCD Mallorca. The Argentine coach signs until the end of the season, with an option for another year. Welcome home, Martín,” the Spanish club wrote.

The former River Plate coach arrives after several days of intense negotiations to replace Jagoba Arrasate, who was dismissed after a run of negative results that left Mallorca in 18th place, just one point above the relegation zone.

Demichelis takes charge of the team immediately, with the clear objective of securing survival in the remaining matches of the season.

One of the team’s strongest points this season has been Vedat Muriqi’s excellent form. The Kosovan striker is enjoying a fantastic season, scoring 16 league goals and serving as the team’s main attacking weapon.
