 | Philippe Laam will be elected as an honorary captain of Germany8-12-2017 |
Philippe Laam, who earlier this year ended his football career, will be named an honorary captain of the national team of Germany. It is expected that the proposal of the German Football Federation president Reinhard Grindel will be officially accepted on Friday at the local football union assembly in Frankfurt. Laam will be only the sixth player to be honored with the honorable Bundestama captain. Before him, the legends of German and world football Fritz Walter, Uwe Zeeller, Franz Beyenbaur, Lothar Matthew and Jurgen Klinsmann were mentioned as honorable captains. Grimel described Lam as `an outstanding sportsman, an outstanding team player and a dedicated society. ` In 2014, Laam took the German national team to the world title with the captain`s hand, and after the end of the last season he withdrew. He even had an offer to become a boss at Bayern Munich, but he refused.
