In a recent interview, Como manager Cesc Fabregas<\/b> has sparked fresh speculation about his future by openly addressing links to one of football\u2019s biggest jobs. When asked if coaching Real Madrid would be a red flag in his budding managerial career, the former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Spain star was emphatic: \u201cNo, it wouldn\u2019t be a red flag for me<\/b>.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fabregas, who retired in 2023 and quickly transitioned into coaching at Como, stressed his ambition. \u201cA red flag in my coaching career for me would be becoming an assistant coach. I always want to be the 1st coach<\/b>,\u201d he stated, underscoring his desire to lead from the front.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The 38-year-old has made an impressive start at Como. He guided the club to Serie A promotion and has them competing strongly in the top flight, securing a sixth-place finish and European football for next season. His tactical acumen and ability to develop young talents including Real Madrid loanees like Nico Paz <\/b>have drawn widespread praise and attention from top clubs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Real Madrid reportedly admire Fabregas\u2019 style and have monitored his progress closely amid their own managerial transitions following Carlo Ancelotti<\/b> and a brief stint under Xabi Alonso<\/b>. While some reports suggest he has been sounded out, the Spaniard remains fully committed to Como, where his contract runs until 2028.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Fabregas\u2019 comments come as he builds a reputation as one of Europe\u2019s most promising young coaches. Fans and pundits are watching closely: could the former midfield maestro one day take the Bernab\u00e9u hotseat? For now, he\u2019s focused on delivering success in Italy while keeping big dreams alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a recent interview, Como manager Cesc Fabregas has sparked fresh speculation about his future by openly addressing links to\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":502,"featured_media":51774,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[4224,5468,3871,2031,4057],"class_list":["post-51772","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-carlo-ancellotti","tag-cese-fabregas","tag-como","tag-manager","tag-top-stories"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51772"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51772\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51775,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51772\/revisions\/51775"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/51774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
