Danny Latza is the new captain of Schalke 04

Shortly before the end of the team’s training camp in Mittersill, head coach Dimitrios Grammozis selected Danny Latza as the new captain of the Royal Blues for the upcoming season.

Latza, who has just returned to his boyhood club after ten years including stops at Darmstadt, Bochum and Mainz, will be supported by four players, who were named in the following order: Victor Pálsson, Simon Terodde, Ralf Fährmann and Malick Thiaw. Together, these five players will make up the team committee. “Victor, Ralf and Simon bring an incredible amount of experience to the team and can lead young players while bringing stability to the squad. Malick brings the perspective of the younger players.”
