Career Summary

The former Austrian national team captain won the 2015-16 Premier League title and the 2020-21 English FA Cup.

Fuchs played for Bundesliga’s Bochum, Mainz and Schalke before joining Leicester City in 2015. Throughout his six years at City, the 35-year-old made 152 appearances and excelled in the UEFA Champions League as the team reached the last-eight during their campaign at Europe’s highest level.

As part of his commitment to the sport, he became the first Premier League player to launch his own esports academy, under his “No Fuchs Given” brand. Fuchs also created the “Foxes Sports Foundation” which aims to help children achieve their dreams through soccer.

He and his wife, Raluca, have two sons and a daughter.
