This news has excited many football fans, especially Chelsea supporters.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cesc-fabregas-the-mind-behind-como\">Cesc Fabregas: The Mind Behind Como<\/h2>\n<p>Cesc Fabregas is a legendary Spanish footballer who played for several top professional clubs including Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea. He is one of the smartest midfielders ever to play football and has been involved in an abundance of trophy success. <\/p>\n<p>After he stopped playing, he started coaching. Now, at 38 years old, he is the manager of Como which is a team in Italy\u2019s Serie A league. He has done a very good job there, and people are talking about him as a smart young coach.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE: Chelsea shock decision: Players back John Terry but board say no<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Blues recently sacked their manager, Liam Rosenior who only stayed for about three months. The team had a bad run of five losses in a row in the Premier League. This made the owners unhappy, so they decided to change the manager.<\/p>\n<p>According to the reports, Chelsea is looking for a new head coach for the long term. An interim coach will handle the rest of this season. Many people think Fabregas could be a good fit because he knows the Blues well from his playing days. He spent five years there as a player and understands the club.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE: Chelsea has set \u2018Next Hazard\u2019 for shock role after injury blow with Jesse Derry<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-this-is-a-big-news-for-chelsea\">This is a Big News for Chelsea<\/h2>\n<p>The president of Como, Mirwan Suwarso, spoke clearly about the situation. He said that if Fabregas wants to go to Chelsea, the club will not stop him. <strong>\u201cIf that makes him happy, that\u2019s him,\u201d<\/strong> the president told a newspaper. He added, <strong>\u201cYou want your employees to stay with you for as long as possible but at the end of the day we don\u2019t own him and he\u2019s free to go to Chelsea if he wishes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This means Como is being nice and fair as they like Fabregas. However, they will let him leave if a big chance comes up and it makes him happy. Fabregas even owns some part of Como, but that does not change the things.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>READ MORE: Chelsea \u2018ready to take ban\u2019 shock as UCL dream faces major blow<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world playing in the Premier League. If there as manager would be a huge step up for Fabregas, who is still new to coaching. He has shown good skills at Como, helping the team play well. The fans and experts see him as a dream appointment for Chelsea because he is young, knows the league, and has fresh ideas.<\/p>\n<p>But Fabregas has said in the past that his biggest dream is to manage a Premier League team one day. Right now, some reports say he is focused on his work at Como and has a contract until 2028. He has not said yes or no to Chelsea yet.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-67.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-67-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-67-768x432.webp 768w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-67.webp\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-67.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-197284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-67.webp 1200w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-67-600x338.webp 600w, https:\/\/sixsports.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Chelsea-67-768x432.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happens-next\">What Happens Next?<\/h2>\n<p>Chelsea will talk to a few possible managers.

If Chelsea makes an offer, Como has already said they will not block it. <\/p>\n<p>Everything now depends on what Fabregas wants and what deal they can agree on. The return of Cesc Fabregas to the Blues marks a new chapter in the history of Chelsea. Some fans anticipate when Cesc might be in charge of Chelsea again at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<div class=\"preferred-source-box\" style=\"margin-top:40px;padding:25px;background: #1865b4;border:1px solid #ddd;border-radius:8px;text-align:center;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;margin-bottom:10px;color:#fff;\">ENJOYED THIS STORY?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:20px;color:#fff;\">\n<p>                    Add Six Sports as a preferred source on Google to see more of our reporting\n                <\/p>\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.goal.com\/img\/google-trusted-source\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.webp\" alt=\"Add as a preferred source on Google\" style=\"max-width:260px;height:auto;\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"after-article-links\" style=\"margin-top:20px; font-size:14px;\">Follow the latest updates from <strong>Premier League<\/strong>, <strong>The League<\/strong> and<br \/>\n        <strong>Champions League<\/strong>or explore more<br \/>\n        <strong>Football<\/strong> stories, <strong>Football Teams<\/strong> &#038; <strong>All Football Competitions<\/strong> .
