Rúben Dias was appointed captain of Manchester City, becoming the new leader of the "citizens" team. The Portuguese international defender succeeds Bernardo Silva, his compatriot, who left the English club after his contract expired.
Bernardo Silva, who was captain of Manchester City, recently transferred to Real Madrid, leaving the leadership position of the English side vacant. The choice fell on Rúben Dias, a player who had already been representing the club for several years.
Dias, who joined Manchester City in 2020 from Benfica, thus became the third consecutive Portuguese captain to lead the Manchester club, reinforcing the strong Portuguese presence at the club.
