"I'll be honest, in the summer we talked a bit. I told him he was one of the best midfielders in history and that he's destined to become one of the best coaches as well," he said. "I explained to him that the time has come for him to return to Chelsea, and he joked about it, but I really believe it."
"Since Fabregas was appointed, only Bologna (89), Napoli (92), Juventus (97), AC Milan (99), Atalanta (108) and Inter (131) have scored more Serie A goals than Como (86). Fabregas adopts a passing-based philosophy, with his team completing 25,747 successful passes in the top flight in that same time frame. That total can only be bettered by Napoli (26,617), Juventus (27,913) and Inter (29,928)."

Fabregas guided Como to 10th in his first full season and currently sits sixth, four points off Champions League places. Como have scored 86 Serie A goals and rank among the league leaders in successful passes under his passing-based, possession-oriented philosophy.
