"The former Barcelona midfielder, who retired at Como in 2023, took charge of the first team that same year as an assistant and then stepped up as head coach for the 2024/25 season. In their first season in Serie A, Fabregas led Como to a respectable tenth-place finish, with his team playing an exciting, eye-catching brand of football. Things are looking even better for Como this term as they sit fifth in the table after 13 games, only four points shy of leaders AC Milan."
"The German giants viewed the 38-year-old former Barcelona midfielder as the ideal replacement for Xabi Alonso, while the Italian heavyweights wanted him to lead a young project following Simone Inzaghi's successful spell as manager. However, the Spanish coach rejected both offers as he opted to continue at Como and does not wish to manage another Italian club. Instead, he dreams of taking over the reins either at Barcelona or Manchester City in the future."
Cesc Fabregas retired at Como in 2023 and quickly moved into coaching, becoming assistant before taking the head coach role for 2024/25. He guided Como to tenth in their first Serie A season with attractive football and has the team fifth after 13 games, four points behind AC Milan. Fabregas has developed young talents such as Nico Paz and Alex Valle into key contributors. Major clubs including Bayer Leverkusen and Inter Milan pursued him, but he rejected those offers and will only leave Como to manage Barcelona or Manchester City.
