The Portuguese footballer, Otamendi, has been named as the new captain for the Benfica team ahead of their upcoming match against Manchester City on Sunday.
The striker is widely regarded as one of the best players in the world and has already scored 14 goals in his first season with the club.
Otamendi has also won the UEFA Champions League with Benfica in 2018 and was named as the Player of the Year by the Portuguese media last year.
He will be joined by midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who is also set to become the captain after being appointed as the team's manager this summer.
The duo have both played key roles for the club in recent seasons and will look to continue that form during their new challenge together.
Benfica will face Manchester City in the EFL Cup final on Sunday, which promises to be a high-profile fixture. The clash between two of Europe's top clubs could provide plenty of excitement for fans across the continent.
The move comes just weeks before the start of the new campaign, and it should come as no surprise that Otamendi is expected to lead the way for the team.
The striker has shown his ability to score goals and he will certainly play a vital role in helping Benfica to progress further up the table next season.
