Cristian Romero was named by Thomas Frank as our new captain after the departure of Heung-Min Son.
'Cuti' was named Sonny's Vice captain next to James Maddison in August 2023 and now takes over the bracelet.
Thomas will mention his leadership group after the end of the summer transfer window.
Against us in Udine, Italy, prior to UEFA Super Cup to PSG in Stadio Friuli on Wednesday evening (8 p.m. UK), said Thomas: “I had a good conversation with Cuti Romero, and he will be our captain.
“He was very honored and very happy about it. It is a big thing and should be to lead this beautiful club on the field, not only for this super cup, but also during the season.
“I think he has all the right qualities. He leads from his behavior on the field, the team drives forward in all ways and always pushes the team outside the field.
“I also want a leadership group. Of course people will wear the bracelet and be the captain, but I would like to have as many leaders as possible, four to five in the leadership group that can help me, because it is the same with me, I cannot do everything and call a fantastic coaching staff around me. I will call that leadership group after the window to judge me.”
World Cup winner Cuti, 27, accompanied us from Atalanta in the summer of 2021, just named 'Best Defender' in the Serie A in 2020/21. He is now a maximum of 100 performances for us in all competitions, and his central defensive collaboration with Micky Van de Ven was the key in our UEFA Europa League triumph last season.
