Toulouse’s Captaincy Change: Martin Braithwaite Takes the Armband
Toulouse’s struggles this season have seen a significant change in leadership, as new coach Pascal Dupraz decided to strip Jean-Daniel Akpa-Akpro of the captaincy. Instead, the armband was handed to Danish striker Martin Braithwaite, who had not always been a regular starter under former coach Dominique Arribagé. The change came ahead of their match against Marseille this Sunday, with the hope that the fresh leadership might inspire the team to break free from their 19th-place position in the standings.
It remains to be seen whether Braithwaite’s appointment as captain will provide the boost Toulouse needs to turn their fortunes around.
