In an official announcement, coach Hansi Flick confirmed that Ilkay Gündogan, former captain of Manchester City, has officially become the captain of the German team, with teammate Joshua Kimmich taking on the role of vice-captain. This marks a new chapter in Gündogan’s international career and a change in leadership of the German team.

Gündogan, a talented midfielder, has had an impressive development during his time at Manchester City under the guidance of coach Pep Guardiola. He has become an important part of Man City’s squad and contributed significantly to this team’s successes in recent seasons.

With his appointment as Germany captain, Gündogan will continue to demonstrate his leadership abilities and play an important role in shaping and guiding his teammates on the field. The combination of Gündogan and Kimmich, a versatile player for Bayern Munich, will bring balance and stability to the German team.

This is an important step in the restructuring of the German team after the unsuccessful 2018 World Cup. With the change in leadership, hopefully there will be freshness and new motivation for the team, along with the goal of creating miracles at future international tournaments.

Ilkay Gündogan and Joshua Kimmich are both talented players with considerable career experience. Their uniformity and leadership spirit will be important factors in bringing the German team back to the top and competing strongly at international tournaments.

German football fans and fans are eagerly waiting for a new beginning under the leadership of Ilkay Gündogan and Joshua Kimmich. With the talent and commitment of both, hopefully the German team will become a formidable opponent on the field and bring much joy to the nation in the coming years.
