David Silva has been handed the armband by Blues boss Pep Guardiola ahead of the 2019-20 campaign
David Silva has been confirmed as Manchester City’s new captain, with the Spaniard inheriting the armband from Vincent Kompany.
Kompany severed ties with City at the end of his contract, with the Belgian walking away as a domestic treble winner in his final campaign.
He has left big boots to fill, but Silva is another long-serving stalwart who knows all about the demands of life at the top of the game.
Pep Guardiola had revealed earlier in the summer that he would be allowing his players to choose the club’s next skipper.
A World Cup-winning midfielder has got the nod, with Guardiola telling reporters: “David Silva will be our captain.
“The captain has to be what he is. David has been here a decade, he knows the club and the Premier League.”

Too bad Guardiola has to use sentiment to give the armband to his countryman. Silva is old and he has lost form and he is not a sure starter but if Guardiola wants to use him at every match I.am afraid City will not win anything this season
Devid don't play every match but Manchester City will win more trophies confirm ⚽⚽

you are just a black leg city fan. was Kompany playing every game last season? still City won the Treble. So I don see where u coming wit ds lame statement of Guardiola using sentiment. Just be a Real fan and support the team we don't need such lame comments

He's still one of the best midfielders in EPL, controls the midfield.
Yes of course, there is no doubt about that but he can't play every match. And I am not sure about his leadership qualities.
