The former River coach could return to Europe to take charge of a team that is experiencing a difficult start to the season

Martín Demichelis could have a new opportunity in Europe. After his spells at River and Monterrey, the Argentine coach appears as one of the main candidates to manage Borussia Mönchengladbach, a Bundesliga club that started the season poorly and is already without a coach.
Micho's coaching career has followed a similar pattern in his two most recent experiences. He started with good results, caused excitement among the fans, but the decline in performance, his in-game decisions, and his management style ultimately wore down the relationship. At River, despite winning three titles, he lost support and left in mid-2024. Just a few weeks later, he took over at Rayados de Monterrey, where he was also criticized and parted ways in May 2025.

After a few months of rest, the Cordoban seems ready to return. According to various sources, Demichelis would give his approval if Gladbach chooses him as Gerardo Seoane's replacement, who was dismissed after a poor start with a draw against Hamburg and defeats to Stuttgart and Werder Bremen, the latter a tough 4-0 loss at home.
Despite the criticism, Demichelis's name carries weight in Germany, where he wore Bayern Munich's jersey for seven years. It was there that he began his coaching career, leading Bayern Munich II before making the move to River in 2022 to replace Marcelo Gallardo.

Now, the challenge could be to return to the Bundesliga, although in a different role: not as a player or reserve coach, but as the one responsible for guiding a Borussia Mönchengladbach that urgently needs to change its course.
