It seems like it’s long-term investments over short-term satisfaction for Cesc Fabregas.
The Como manager reassured fans about his immediate future on Wednesday, amidst growing speculation that he might be Inter Milan’s top candidate to replace the recently departed Simone Inzaghi.
Fabregas, the former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea midfielder, has attracted attention from several top clubs after leading promoted Como to a 10th-place finish in Serie A last season.
The Spaniard is also a shareholder in the club where he concluded his playing career.
“I truly believe in the Como project. I joined this club with a long-term vision. I don’t want to end my career at a club where the project only lasts one or two years and then fades away,” Fabregas stated at the SXSW conference in London.
“I am very committed to Como’s long-term project. I came here as a player and am very happy because I can work the way I want. We share the same goals and ambitions. The president allows me to work according to my vision.
“Fortunately, we share the same vision and goals, aiming to achieve as much as possible. Together, we have built a strong team in a small city with a small club, but with big ambitions for the future,” Fabregas concluded.
Italian media reported that Inter wanted to speak to Fabregas after Inzaghi left by mutual agreement on Tuesday, following their 5-0 defeat against PSG in the Champions League final.
Como president Mirwan Suwarso, however, dismissed the rumors and confirmed that Fabregas will not leave the club this summer, emphasising his key role.
“Our journey is long, spanning several seasons and centered around Cesc Fabregas, who will not leave the club,” Suwarso stated at SXSW.
Fabregas served as an assistant to former manager Osian Roberts as Como secured automatic promotion to the top flight last season.
The 37-year-old also served as interim coach for a month after the sacking of Roberts’ predecessor Moreno Longo in November, but could not take permanent charge until he obtained the coaching badges required by UEFA.
Fabregas previously managed Como’s youth team after retiring as a player in 2023, before taking over the first team in 2024.
