Why Martín Demichelis Might Leave Mallorca So Abruptly — and What the Island Needs Now

Answer

Is it normal in football for a coach to leave after a new contract extension?

Yes, it can happen, especially if modern contracts include exit clauses or buyout terms. A recent extension does not always guarantee long-term stability if another club makes an attractive offer. What makes the situation difficult is when the change comes without warning for the club or fans.
