Football: Joshua Kimmich Named Germany Captain Following Gundogan’s Retirement
The UEFA Nation League: Joshua Kimmich has been selected as the new captain of Germany men’s national team. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann announced the decision during a press conference from the team’s training camp in Herzogenaurach on Monday. Kimmich (91 caps) will take over the armband from Ilkay Gündogan, who recently retired from international duty.
“The captain is the one to share the team’s opinions with the coaching staff. Jo was the logical choice, as he is a leader with a strong mentality,” Nagelsmann said in the press conference.
Kimmich has captained Germany on 17 occasions so far. His vice-captains will be Real Madrid’s Antonio Rüdiger and Kai Havertz from Arsenal FC. “The choice of this trio gives us a great mix,” added Nagelsmann.
