Bastian Schweinsteiger has been named as Germany’s captain to replace the retired Philipp Lahm.
The 30-year-old midfielder, who will miss the next two games because of a lingering knee injury, will take over from his Bayern Munich team-mate, who is also 30 but stepped back from international football after winning the World Cup.
Germany’s coach Joachim Löw also named the former Stuttgart coach Thomas Schneider as his new assistant coach. He replaces Hansi Flick, who gave up the position he held since 2006 to become the German football federation’s sporting director.
