Here's a fresh take on the article:
Inzaghi's Departure Sparks Managerial Hunt at Inter Milan
Inter Milan's bid for the Serie A title and the Champions League trophy fell short, and Simone Inzaghi is moving on, leaving the club on the hunt for a new boss. Inzaghi, ranking fifth on our site's list of the world's best managers, is rumored to join Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, making way for a new boss at Inter.
Fabregas in the Running: Rumors Swirl for Former Arsenal Midfielder
The Milanese giants are reportedly turning their gaze towards Lombardy, zeroing in on a familiar face, former Arsenal, Chelsea, and Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas. According to journalist Santi Aouna, an agreement has allegedly been struck between Inter and Fabregas, with the negotiations for his release from Como underway.
Como, promoted from Serie A in 2023-24, marked their return to the top-flight for the first time since 2003 under Fabregas' guidance. Finishing in a respectable tenth place, the midf turned manager has caught the attention of elite clubs in the division.
Owned by Indonesia's Djarum Group, Como boasts a substantial war chest to fend off interested parties vying for Fabregas' services. According to reports from The Athletic, Como remains optimistic about retaining the services of their sought-after manager.
The Talented Tactician
Although his first full season in management was 2024-25, Fabregas' illustrious playing career—which included triumphs with Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea, as well as Spain's national team—gives him a unique perspective and valuable experience. The former Arsenal captain, now 38, led Spain to three major tournament finals, including a European Championship victory over Italy in 2012.
