Martín Demichelis has been appointed as the new head coach of RCD Mallorca amid a challenging season, with the team's main objective being to avoid relegation from LaLiga. The decision comes after a lengthy and sometimes contradictory search for a new manager in Spain, which has now reached a resolution as Demichelis takes charge of the club.

Having previously managed Rayados de Monterrey in Mexico until May, Demichelis is heading back to European football after having a stint with Bayern Munich's reserves. His agreement with Mallorca is reportedly structured as a contract valid until the end of the current season, which allows the team management, led by Pablo Ortells, the flexibility to operate post-season based on their league standing.

This appointment highlights the urgent need for Mallorca to stabilize its performance in LaLiga, as the club contends with the pressure of relegation battles. The Argentine manager's experience and pragmatic approach are seen as crucial for steering the team through the final crucial matches of the season, aiming to secure the club's top-flight status for the next year.
