Mexico City: Former Argentina international defender Martin Demichelis has been appointed manager of Monterrey, the Mexican top flight club said.

The 43-year-old replaces compatriot Fernando Ortiz, who was sacked last week following the team's elimination from the Leagues Cup.

Monterrey made the announcement in a social media post, without revealing the length of the contract or when Demichelis would begin, reports Xinhua.
