Coach for Bundesliga? Como's Fàbregas makes a cryptic statement

Fàbregas shapes Como into a surprise team

When asked if that was already a farewell speech, the 38-year-old replied: "No, no, I've always said that." The Spaniard had joined Como as a player in 2022 and took over as head coach after the team was promoted to the first division in the summer of 2024.

With two matchdays to go, the underdogs are in tenth place in the table and thus in the top half of the standings. The club recently won six games in a row and Fàbregas was voted coach of the month for April. He still has a contract at Lake Como until 2028.

However, the ex-professional has recently been the subject of intense courtship. According to a media report from Como, for example, the bosses of Bayer Leverkusen were already negotiating with the coach, who had made a good impression. After it recently became official that Xabi Alonso would be leaving the Werkself in the summer, those responsible announced a successor "in due course".
