Christian Günter will also lead SC Freiburg as captain in the coming season.
That was the result of the choice in the training camp in Schruns, the Baden Bundesliga club announced.
The 30-year-old is currently on a break because he broke his right forearm, but he still traveled to the training camp in Austria.
His deputies are Vincenzo Grifo and Maximilian Eggestein. The team council also includes Nicolas Höfler and Lucas Höler.
