Leipzig boss Demichelis confirms Raum retains captaincy

David Raum retains RB Leipzig captaincy, as new coach Martin Demichelis confirmed on Saturday. The left-back was a surprise choice when he first took the responsibility under Ole Werner last summer.

RB Leipzig once again made a managerial change despite Werner’s solitary season ending in Leipzig returning to the Champions League. The former Bayern Munich defender Demichelis is the new boss in Leipzig, and he has now confirmed there will be no changes in terms of the team captains.

Raum will be assisted by Christoph Baumgartner, Willi Orban, Benjamin Henrichs and new signing Maxim Estève. The German international opened the door for new contract talks in an interview with Sky Sports yesterday.
