The "Barcelona" team may change its captain in the near future. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
Currently, the captain's armband belongs to goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, but the club's management is planning to part ways with him during the summer transfer window. Even if he stays with the team, it is expected that his captaincy status will be revoked.
According to Mundo Deportivo, "Barcelona" intends to adopt the experience of "Manchester City" in selecting a captain. Since this summer, the leaders of "Manchester City" have given head coach Josep Guardiola the right to independently choose the captain.
A similar right will also be granted to Hans-Dieter Flick at "Barcelona." Previously, the captain was chosen by the team members themselves.
This change is noted to be aimed at updating the leadership system within the team and enhancing team balance. The new approach allows for the coach's opinion and leadership style to be taken into account when fulfilling the captaincy role.
Additionally, these changes will also serve to strengthen the internal environment of the team.
