No two ways about it, Chiellini is the next captain. And rightfully so. I think the only guy who can pull a surprise on that front is Marchisio, who I'm sure will be given Vice Captain duties. Vidal doesn't actually strike me as a captain at all. He seems like a leader in the game, but he doesn't seem to have the inclination to wear the band to lead the team, if for the sake of argument we looked at a non-nationalistic stance, JoJo could've been groomed for the role, coz he seems more inclined for that. I think back to the Juvetalians, Pirlo on the other hand would be really comfortable, but he'd have retired before Buffon.
