The 38-year-old has turned heads along with his impressive work answerable for Como having led the side to promotion from the Italian second tier in the summertime of 2024.<\/p>\n

Como finished ninth on their return to Serie A final season \u2013 their highest finish since 1987 \u2013 and the club are on target to raised that this term, sitting fifth within the table with just six games remaining of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Fabregas\u2019 men also find themselves in the combination for this yr\u2019s Coppa Italia title, with their semi-final tie against Inter Milan currently goalless ahead of next week\u2019s second leg on the San Siro.<\/p>\n

Given Como have never before competed in Europe, Champions League qualification would represent a remarkable achievement for Fabregas in what is barely his second season as everlasting manager of the Lombardy-based outfit.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the legendary Spaniard\u2019s\u2019 exploits are naturally starting to draw the attentions of a few of the biggest names in world football, with Como\u2019s president recently telling Revista Undici<\/a>: \u2018Cesc is absolutely very necessary for us, but\u00a0we can be silly to not think that at some point he could go to Arsenal, Barcelona or Chelsea.<\/p>\n

\u2018If he continues to win with us or in any case to achieve success, even when I cannot speak for him, I imagine he could have larger dreams.<\/p>\n

\u2018Having said that, I hope that so long as he’s here he’ll help us create successful plan also for individuals who can have to exchange him.<\/p>\n

\u2018For me, when he leaves, if he ever leaves, he ought to be the one to decide on who will take his place. He ought to be involved within the selection.<\/p>\n

\u2018Being a member of the Board of Football, he can have to assist us appoint the following coach.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I believe they need to change. They’re a young team and I don\u2019t know in the event that they have one of the best manager for what Chelsea need at once.<\/p>\n

\u2018They need to try for Cesc Fabregas this summer. I really like the job he’s doing at once in Como. I don\u2019t know if he’ll move because he desires to take Como to the Champions League but I can see Chelsea in the long run for Fabregas.<\/p>\n

\u2018Why not? Chelsea are one of the best club for Cesc Fabregas because they’ve young players who will follow his words immediately.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018I’m very committed to this project.\u00a0You never know, but at once I believe it\u2019s not possible I\u2019ll leave Como,\u2019 Fabregas explained after being handed the Enzo Bearzot award by the Italian Football Federation.<\/p>\n

\u2018Last yr, I desired to see how other clubs operated. I discussed it to the president, but I made a decision to remain. <\/p>\n

\n

Is Liam Rosenior the best manager for Chelsea?<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\u2018I\u2019m very completely satisfied with what we\u2019ve been capable of achieve. That is a vital project.<\/p>\n

\u2018I want to feel good here. It\u2019s necessary that my family is completely satisfied, and in the event that they\u2019re completely satisfied in Como, I\u2019ll stay.\u2019<\/p>\n

On the prospect of managing the Italian national team in the long run, Fabregas said: \u2018Possibly someday. <\/p>\n

\u2018At once, I\u2019m an excessive amount of of a coach and\u00a0I must be on the pitch day by day. <\/p>\n

\u2018Being the national team coach at once may be boring, an excessive amount of free time. <\/p>\n

\u2018In the long run, once I\u2019m older, you never know.<\/p>\n

Fabregas put pen to paper on a four-year contract when he was appointed everlasting manager of Como, tying him to the club until 2028.<\/p>\n
