Como have announced the appointment of Cesc Fabregas as their new head coach following his successful completion of coaching badges.
Fabregas, who is also a part-owner of the club, will now lead Como in the top flight next season after signing a four-year contract.
Expressing his excitement, Fabregas stated, ‘I am so happy to be starting this season as head coach and I thank the ownership group for trusting me with this position.
I share the ambitions of the group and believe this is just the start of where this club can go.
It’s going to be a tough and important season but myself and the rest of the coaching staff are ready and we all believe.’
The 37-year-old initially served as caretaker coach and then assistant manager, helping the club return to Serie A after a 21-year absence.
Owned by the Hartono brothers, Como is currently the wealthiest club in Italy.
They are preparing for Serie A with strategic signings, finalizing deals for free agents Raphael Varane and Pau Lopez.
