Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has named veteran midfielder Luka Modric as the club’s new captain, following the departure of Nacho Fernandez. Nacho, who left the club as a free agent, is set to join Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadsia.
Modric, a experienced and respected player, will lead the team, with Dani Carvajal and Lucas Vazquez serving as vice-captains. This decision comes as Real Madrid faces the loss of two key players, Nacho and the retiring Toni Kroos. This marks the fourth consecutive year the club has had to replace its captain, after the departures of Marcelo, Karim Benzema, and Sergio Ramos in previous years.
Despite these changes, Real Madrid still boasts a squad with significant experience and talent. Ancelotti’s decision to appoint Modric as captain reflects the player’s leadership qualities and his ability to guide the team in this new era.
