Fabregas at the Crossroads: Como's Quiet Rise Faces Barcelona or Guardiola's Shadow

Next

A Spanish press report spotlighted Cesc Fabregas's next destination as Como's head coach.

AS, the Spanish daily, reports that Fabregas has delivered a rapid, significant impact at Como, finishing last season tenth and setting the club's best-ever league position and points tally.

They added that Como this season is nearing the top tier and has challenged Italy's giants by drawing with Juventus and Napoli, the reigning champions.

It noted the young Spanish coach, whose style relies on control, possession, and direct play, turned down more than one offer last summer.

Outlook

It explained Fabregas finds staying with Como best for him, convinced by the club's policy of quiet, steady steps that aid smarter decisions.

AS quoted Marwan Suwarso, Como's owner: 'I spoke with Fabregas to ask him who could replace him, not that I mean his departure, but we must stay ready at any moment, without surprises, and I hope this won't happen soon'.

Regarding his next destination, the paper linked Fabregas with clubs such as Inter Milan before signing Cristian Kivu, and with Roma and Bayer Leverkusen after parting ways with Ten Hag. AS mentions some bets he might replace Guardiola at Manchester City, while others insist he could be Barcelona's next coach, so Fabregas must choose. Punchline: If he takes the job, expect longer pressers than passes. Punchline 2: Como’s era starts quietly—espresso required.
