Commentary icon Béla Réthy believes Martin Demichelis's era as manager at RB Leipzig will come to a swift end.

The 69-year-old stated in the YouTube talk "At Broski – Die Sport-Show" with streamer Simon Schildgen aka Gamerbrother that he had the feeling the squad does not know what style or type of football they should be playing. He drew a harsh conclusion about the Argentine's first months on the sidelines at the Saxon club, asserting that Demichelis will not survive Christmas on the bench in this manner.

RB Leipzig parted ways with former head manager Ole Werner in the summer, despite the fact that he had guided the club back into the UEFA Champions League. Réthy, who ended his long-standing role at ZDF after the 2022 FIFA World Cup, criticized the managerial change as complete nonsense.

The low point for Demichelis at RB Leipzig came with the 1:6 thrashing at his former club Bayern Munich over the weekend, which intensified the already simmering discussions surrounding him. With regard to the Bundesliga showdown at the Allianz Arena, Réthy stated clearly that the entire performance was a complete disaster for RB Leipzig and he could not describe it any better.

RB Leipzig: Poll blow for Martin Demichelis

According to the FanPuls voting by Home of Sports (Ippen Digital) and FanQ, Demichelis is now the Bundesliga manager most likely to fear his dismissal next. Over 2,500 voters believe there is a 33.2 percent chance that he will be the next manager in the top division to be sacked.

This is the highest value Demichelis has reached this season (previously: 22.9 percent on matchday 4 following the 0:2 loss at Bayer Leverkusen), and the gap to second place is 10.4 percentage points.

In the previous week, 68.9 percent of fans had stated that the next matches would decide Demichelis's future, despite RB Leipzig's convincing 6:0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt.
