Como's Fabregas: Unlikely to Coach Another Serie A Club

Cesc Fabregas has transformed Como into Serie A's surprise package. Discover why the Spanish tactician is unlikely to stay in Italy despite interest from top clubs, eyeing Europa League.

May 1, 2026

Cesc Fabregas's Como has been the most surprising team in Serie A this season. Even if the Spanish tactician has already attracted interest from Italian giants, he’s unlikely to stay on the Peninsula if he leaves his spot in the Lake.

Como has been fighting for a European spot this season and is well-placed to qualify for the Europa League in 2026-27, possibly marking their first appearance in a UEFA competition since 1980-81.

Their attractive and courageous playing football under Cesc Fabregas has amazed fans and pundits alike, making many wonder whether the ex-Spanish midfielder will move on after his second consecutive spell in Serie A.

While Como has shown remarkable intensity, as highlighted by Nico Paz's goal against FC Internazionale on April 12, 2026, at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium, the allure for Fabregas might lead him beyond Italy's borders.

Serie A has become increasingly attractive to fans abroad, especially those in the USA and Canada, where matches are getting increasing coverage. However, Fabregas's ambitions might not align with a long-term future in Serie A, outside of his current success with Como.
