City boss Pep Guardiola explained: "He will be good, as he always has done since I met him.
"Sometimes I have captains, it doesn't matter with the armband, being the first captain, he is always a guy who leads in the bad moments.
"We decided in the locker room - the players, the backroom staff - we decided that Fernandinho is captain and I am more than delighted with that."
Fernandinho, who joined the club from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2013, was one of three 'assistant' captains last season along with Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero.
