EVERTON FC HAVE confirmed that Ireland international Seamus Coleman will captain the club for the 2019/20 Premier League season.

Coleman, who joined Everton in January 2009, regularly took the armband as Jagielka’s deputy last season. The 30-year-old defender led his side in 22 Premier League matches in 2018/19.
Starting out his 11th full campaign at the club, Coleman — who has some competition for his spot at right-back — makes his 290th appearance today against Crystal Palace.
He led the side out at Selhurst Park, and it’s currently 0-0.
🏆 "This club needs a trophy. I don't want to be remembered as one of those who's played 300 Everton games and the fans love, but have nothing to show for it."
