Fernandinho has given advice to the next Manchester City captain as he aims to continue the success of the club after his departure.
The Brazilian midfielder has had the armband at the Etihad for the last two seasons, taking over from David Silva in 2020 and overseeing two Premier League title wins to add to the many medals he has from his nine years as a City player. However, the 37-year-old had decided by February this year that he had to leave if he wanted to carry on his dream of playing for at least another two years.
It is testament to the service he gave to the club that even when deciding on his own future he was thinking about what comes next at City, telling teammates Ederson and Kayky at a dinner at his home: "Something else worries me. I won't say I'm losing sleep over it, but one thing that has me worried a lot is the question of preparing the next captain for you."
