Former Chelsea and Barcelona star, Cesc Fabregas, is set to make a remarkable transition from the pitch to the sidelines as he embarks on his journey as coach of Italian Serie B side.
The 36-year-old Spaniard is poised to become the head coach of Italian second division side Como, marking his debut as a first-team manager, Footballrover reports.
Fabregas, previously in charge of Como’s youth team, will step into the role of the head coach, succeeding Moreno Longo, who was relieved of his duties despite Como’s recent 1-0 victory against Ascoli.
Multiple reports, including insights from reputable sources like Fabrizio Romano, indicate that Fabregas will be the one to fill the managerial void.
Having initially joined Como as the youth team coach last summer, this appointment signifies Fabregas’s elevation to the helm of the first team. The move follows the conclusion of his illustrious playing career.
Como currently occupies the sixth position in the Serie B table, boasting 21 points from 12 games. Positioned within the playoff zone, they trail the league leaders, Parma, by eight points.
Fabregas contributed to Como’s Serie B campaign last season, featuring in 17 games.
His wealth of experience, including winning the World Cup and the European Championship twice with Spain, coupled with his triumphs with Barcelona and Chelsea, adds a formidable dimension to his coaching venture.
As the seasoned midfielder takes charge, Como fans and football enthusiasts alike eagerly anticipate witnessing Fabregas’s strategic prowess unfold on the touchline, eager to propel Como to new heights in Serie B.
