BORUSSIA DORTMUND legend Marco Reus has announced his shock resignation as captain of the club.
The German international, 34, has skippered the club for five years having been given the armband by former manager Lucien Favre in 2018.
Dortmund won the DFB Pokal and the German Super Cup under Reus’ stewardship.
Having been the club’s talisman pretty much since his arrival in 2011, Reus found himself regularly outside the Dortmund starting XI for much of last season.
And his decision to resign the captaincy reflects his reduced role in the team, often only appearing as an impact sub towards the end of the campaign.
