Jonathan Tah has been directly appointed to FC Bayern Munich’s team council, Sky Germany have reported this evening, August 18.

The 29-year-old centre-half takes his place on the council alongside Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich and Harry Kane.

Bayern are already impressed by his performances — Tah is immediately seen as the new defensive leader and a key figure.

Only last week before the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, Tah was asked about whether he would take on a leadership role.

Although he said he was a leader by nature, the Hamburg native demanded every member of the Bayern squad shows leadership qualities.

Since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer this summer, it's clear the German international has already left a big impression.
