The Ecuadorian midfielder, Moisés Caicedo, received great news when he was named captain of the British team to face Servette from Switzerland in the UEFA Conference League.
Since his arrival at the club, Moisés Caicedo has stood out as one of the main figures, and his leadership has been recognized by coach Enzo Maresca.
This is the first time Caicedo will wear the captain's armband for Chelsea, although he has already had previous experience leading the Ecuadorian National Team.
The appointment of Moisés Caicedo as captain demonstrates his importance to the club and his outstanding performance. The player has been essential in the starting lineup, even with the change of coach.
In the previous season, under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, Caicedo participated in numerous matches and showcased his quality with assists and goals, even being nominated for the best goal of the year in the league.
On the international stage, the Ecuadorian has represented his country in the South American qualifiers and in the Copa America, reaching the quarterfinals.
Prior to Moisés Caicedo, the only Ecuadorian player to have been captain of an English club was Antonio Valencia during his spell at Manchester United. Valencia, known as the 'Amazon Express', wore the armband during the 2016-2017 season, winning the UEFA Europa League under the guidance of coach José Mourinho.
