‘Josh was one of the three captains at the European Championship, so it's logical that if the others aren't there, it's logical that he's the (leading) candidate,’ said Nagelsmann during the announcement.
‘I'd be surprised if it wasn't Kimmich,’ said Matthaus, emphasizing Kimmich's extensive experience and ambition, with 91 caps making him the most seasoned player in the team.
Kimmich acknowledged the change, stating, ‘I was deputy captain at the European Championship. Ilkay has now retired, so the roles are being redistributed...’ emphasizing the team's transition.
Kimmich's energetic playing style earned him praise as someone who ‘always goes full throttle,’ a reflection of his commitment and competitive spirit that Nagelsmann values.
