Football veteran Cesc Fabregas' impressive debut in management sparks speculation about a possible return to Arsenal.
In the world of football, Cesc Fabregas has made a promising start to his managerial career with Como since retiring as a player in 2023. His tactical acumen and leadership have caught the attention of several top European clubs, sparking rumours of a potential return to Arsenal, the club where he enjoyed a highly successful playing career.
Fabregas, now 38 years old, has had a distinguished playing career, achieving notable success with Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, Monaco, and the Spanish national team. Although he missed out on the Champions League trophy during his playing days, his transition into coaching has been nothing short of impressive.
After a brief caretaker spell at Como in 2023, Fabregas resumed full-time management last summer. Under his guidance, Como was promoted to Serie A and finished the previous season in the 10th position in the Italian top flight. His vision and ability to inspire his squad have earned him respect and admiration, not only from the Como fans but also from football pundits.
Fabregas' connection with the players is evident, as he has promised to celebrate promotion with the team in Ibiza. This strong bond, coupled with his ambition to move Como into European contention, has turned the club into an ambitious project aiming for long-term success, similar to Atalanta in Italy.
However, Fabregas' success has not gone unnoticed, with clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen and Inter Milan showing interest. Yet, he remains committed to building his legacy at Como for now. Many, however, expect him to move to a bigger club in the near future.
One such individual who believes in Fabregas' potential is Jeremie Aliadiere, a former teammate of Fabregas at Arsenal. In an interview with UK Riches, Aliadiere expressed his belief that Fabregas' success as a manager was always likely, given his quick reading of the game and calm demeanour during his playing career. He also sees potential for Fabregas to become the manager of Arsenal in the future.
This speculation about Fabregas' future at Como and potential Arsenal return has added to the growing pressure on Mikel Arteta, who is facing pressures to deliver major trophies at Arsenal. With Fabregas' deep ties to the club and his fresh ideas, he could be a potential successor who could lead Arsenal to new heights.
