Spanish star Cesc Fabregas, the head coach of the Italian club Como, today expressed his great happiness and pride in the journey he has undertaken with his team, affirming that ‘Fabregas and Como’ have become an inspiring success story in the world of football. Fabregas succeeded in leading Como to a historic achievement by qualifying for the UEFA Champions League for the first time ever, confirming his clear impact on the team’s performance.
Fabregas took over the coaching reins at Como in 2023 as an interim coach, and this appointment turned into a permanent contract in the summer of 2024 after he demonstrated exceptional coaching abilities. Fabregas managed to lead the team to finish fourth in the Italian league last season, which rightly qualified them to participate in the most prestigious European competition this season.
In statements made at an event in the Italian city of Trento, Fabregas revealed interesting details about his beginnings with the club, saying: “The Como project started with me in an unexpected way; I had many offers, but I felt that coaching Como was the right decision. Sometimes you have to follow your instincts.” He added with a smile: “It’s ironic that I used to visit Como a lot during my vacations, but I didn’t know there was a football team here, which confirms the extent of the development we have witnessed.” This remarkable success clearly highlights the effort that Fabregas and Como put in together.
Fabregas specifically praised the French player Lucas Da Cunha, describing him as one of the most prominent players he has worked with. Da Cunha was among the first to join the team when Fabregas took over his mission, and thanks to his outstanding level, he participated with the French national team for the first time in his football career. Fabregas continued talking about Da Cunha saying: “Lucas has an extraordinary mentality and an unstoppable desire to achieve accomplishments. I love players who might not have super natural talent but have huge ambition and a strong desire to build a great professional career, unlike some players who settle for just financial gains.”
