Cesc Fàbregas has emerged as one of the coaches on Real Madrid’s radar. The club’s management has been closely monitoring his performance at Como. His tactical approach and communication style have greatly impressed the decision-makers at the Spanish powerhouse.
Currently, Real Madrid is under the interim leadership of Alvaro Arbeloa, who was appointed following the departure of Xabi Alonso in January. The club is considering various options for the next season as part of their long-term planning.
Fàbregas, at the helm of Como, has achieved remarkable results with the team. The squad currently sits in fourth place in Serie A, tied on points with Roma and ahead of prominent clubs such as Juventus and Atalanta. Additionally, they are competing for a place in the final of the Coppa Italia, with a challenging semifinal clash against Inter on the horizon.
The Spanish coach took over Como after ending his professional playing career in 2023. His illustrious playing days saw him don the jerseys of Barcelona, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Monaco. In his first few years as a manager, he successfully guided the team from Serie B to the top tier of Italian football.
Como’s progress can also be attributed to significant financial backing from its Indonesian owners. The squad features players like Nico Paz, who has a buyout clause favoring Real Madrid. Both the player’s development and Fàbregas’ work have drawn the keen interest of the Madrid-based club.
