As the Bundesliga gears up for a new season, top clubs Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig are zeroing in on potential trainers, with former pro Cesc Fabregas in the mix. After some secretive comments, the Spanish veteran is generating a buzz.

In a surprising 3:1 win over Cagliari, Fabregas coached his Italian Serie A team Como, saying, "Whatever happens, I'll always be grateful for what this club has given me. I'm extremely proud of what we've built here. I intend to leave a mark when I leave. The person who follows me will inherit a strong club."

With his 2010 World Cup win and two European titles under his belt, Fabregas was a leading player before stepping into coaching. He was probed about his upcoming plans, to which he positively hinted, "When the right moment comes, we'll announce something." Is this a farewell speech? Fabregas assertively replied, "No, no, I've always said that."

Como: Dream Team Under Fabregas Craftsmanship

Coaching Como since 2022, Fabregas also took the helm after the team was promoted to the first league in summer 2024. Recently, Como has shocked the Serie A, with Fabregas at the reins. The club won six matches consecutively, earning Fabregas the Serie A Coach of the Month award for April.

Previously a player for Como, the 38-year-old looks poised for a grand exit. With a contract in Como until 2028, recent negotiations hint at his departure.

Two Horses in the Race

Besides Leverkusen, RB Leipzig is also keen on recruiting Fabregas as their new coach for the upcoming season. Both teams are eager to bring the skilled coach on board, with Leverkusen hoping to replicate the success Alonso achieved in his tenure, which includes a league and cup double last season[1][3][4].

For Leipzig, the draw might be more alluring, offering room for growth and relief from immediate pressure[1][3][5]. Fabregas, known for his ambition, may find its organic career development more appealing.
