"The captain's armband is an honour, but also an obligation. It carries responsibility, character and an example for everyone in the locker room. We believe that Vasil with his dedication, work and love for the club will wear it with dignity.
"His deputy captain in the new season will be Jaka Malus, one of the most experienced players in the team and an important part of RK Vardar's play.
"New season. New challenges," the club said in its announcement.
