Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Stale Solbakken has revealed that he is planning to get to know his squad before electing a captain for the new season.
The Black Country side kick off their Championship campaign away at Leeds United in just 37 days, but Solbakken insists that he will not be rushed into making a quick decision.
"I want to wait a little bit to see which direction we're going," the Norwegian told the club's official website.
"It's important to be together with the group for a while before making that decision.
"No matter what happens, I can promise it won't be as controversial as last year when [as manager of Cologne] I took it from [Lukas] Podolski. The whole of Germany was after me for a few weeks after that."
Roger Johnson, Karl Henry and Stephen Ward have all worn the Wolves armband during the last 12 months.
