The New York Red Bulls have announced Sacha Kljestan is the new club captain, taking over the armband left behind by Dax McCarty (Say what? You need a tissue? Can't have this one. Once A Metro needs it to dab tears falling on the keyboard.)
Captain Kljestan is ready to lead the team.
He has some big shoes to fill. RBNY's last two captains - Thierry Henry and Dax McCarty - each saw the team lift a trophy (the 2013 and 2015 Supporters' Shields) on their watch.
The 31-year-old Kljestan joined the Red Bulls in 2015, and is an established and important member of the current squad.
