"I am very proud to be the captain of FC Augsburg and to lead our team," said Demirovic.
"Together with my fellow captains Niklas Dorsch and Elvis Rexhbecaj and the entire team council, we want to move forward and make sure that we perform as a team with unity and heart in every game and achieve our goals."
