Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has described Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans as the "natural successor" to departed captain Kasper Schmeichel.
Schmeichel ended his 11-year stay with the Foxes earlier this week by joining Ligue 1 side Nice and Rodgers has appointed Evans as his new skipper.
Evans will wear the armband as the Foxes launch their Premier League campaign against Brentford on Sunday.
The 34-year-old joined Leicester from West Bromwich Albion in 2018.
Rodgers told a press conference: "Jonny represents the collective standards and values of these players and what they stand for. He's a player of huge experience.
