“I look more for how many captains, how many leaders can we develop within the team. When I look about what I want to implement into the team, behaviors, values, qualities, characters. I want my captains to have those qualities and to have the ability to influence the group…That is something I really want to develop within this fútbol club,” said Neville.

The team’s captains will have just that as they incorporate a wealth of experience captaining both at Inter Miami and abroad in some of the world’s top competitions.

Higuaín brings experience captaining Inter Miami, having taken over the role for the final stretch of the 2020 season. The Argentine striker also has title-winning experience at the highest levels of the sport, including Italy with Juventus, Spain with Real Madrid and England with Chelsea, making him accustomed to the pressure of captaining and leading a squad.
