After a stellar playing career, former Spain midfielder Cesc Fabregas is looking to shine as a coach with Italian side Como.
Cesc Fabregas won the World Cup and the European Championship as a player with Spain, plus club trophies galore with Barcelona, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Como are heading back to the Italian top flight after 21 years away, having twice gone bankrupt during their time away. Financial troubles came alongside football struggles, with Como declared bankrupt for a second time as recently as 2016. "They are clubs that have been created to go to Serie A directly. They've been working for three years as a process to achieve this, and for us to go to Serie A ahead of them is something to be proud of."Fabregas was only able to fill the head coach role for seven games as he did not have the required coaching licence.
"When we were looking to bring someone in, Thierry recommended him. He told me that he was the right guy for us. Roberts is expected to 'move upstairs' and focus exclusively on a head of development role, though Fabregas was not willing to give too much away amid Como's promotion celebrations."I'm very happy here. My intention is to be here. In a couple of weeks everything will be clear."
