He has now been rewarded with the captain's armband as he is one of the longest-serving members of the team.
The former Middlesbrough defender was part of the Leganes team that went down to the Spanish second division at the end of the 2019/20 season.
The club also announced four assistants alongside the Super Eagles defender.
The quartet of Juan Munoz Munoz, Jose Manuel Arnaiz, Sergio Gonzalez and Asier Riesgo have also been given leadership roles.
The 28-year-old will lead Leganes for the first time as a captain in their second division opener against Alaves on Saturday.
Omeruo has made 101 appearances for the club since joining in 2018 scoring four goals.
