10月6日，据24直播网报道，美国国家足球队的主教练波切蒂诺正式公布，泰勒·亚当斯将被任命为国家队队长，这一职位他将保持至未来四年。
The young star Pristupch has made a significant mark for the U.S. national team, having been capped 90 times, scoring 33 goals, and providing 21 assists. His remarkable achievements have earned him the title of U.S. Player of the Year on four occasions. On November 20, 2018, in a friendly match against Italy, at just 20 years and 63 days of age, Pristupch was honored with the captain's armband, making him the youngest ever captain in the history of the U.S. national team.
经过波切蒂诺的正式宣布，泰勒·亚当斯将接替普利西奇，成为美国国家足球队的队长，这一职位他将保持至2030年世界杯周期结束。波切蒂诺对亚当斯的领导才能和团队组织能力给予了高度评价，并强调他在国际赛场上的杰出表现。
波切蒂诺与普利西奇之间的互动显得颇为紧张，过去，波切蒂诺曾公开发表言论，指责普利西奇未能全身心投入美国国家队的比赛。在今年的世界杯期间，波切蒂诺选择将队长袖标授予39岁的资深球员蒂姆·里姆。在最近的这一轮国家队比赛中，普利西奇、他的俱乐部米兰以及美国国家队达成共识，决定让普利西奇缺席国家队比赛，转而留在米兰以恢复最佳状态。
