“The player with the highest amount of votes was the team captain at the end. That was how I did it. I know a lot of head coaches don’t do it that way.

Meanwhile, Maguire has sustained a knee injury and will not be available for selection in the last four games of the ongoing season. In his absence, either Cristiano Ronaldo or Bruno Fernandes will lead the side.
