Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is set to retain the captain's armband for Wales in the wake of Chris Coleman's appointment as manager.
Coleman was named as Gary Speed's successor earlier this week and he has since confirmed that the Gunners star will keep the job of being the team's on-field general.
The former Coventry and Fulham boss is anxious to continue building on the good work of Speed following his untimely death, and he is ruling out any wholesale changes in order to achieve that aim.
"I haven't spoken to Aaron about the armband - but it's obvious I'm not looking to change that," admitted Coleman. "Aaron is the captain and I think he's going to be a good captain.
"He's not doing anything wrong in my eyes, so why would I change that?
"When Gary gave him the armband I did think, 'Is it a gamble because he's very young?' and, 'Will it harm his progression?'
"But now I think it was a brilliant move by Gary because he's really grown into it.
"The best captains are often not the ones ranting, raving and screaming all the time. You have thinkers and they lead through their play. Aaron certainly does that."
