Chelsea sacked Liam Rosenior last month and are assessing options ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Fabregas has earned admirers for his work at Italian side Como. The Spaniard has led the club back into Serie A, with Como now challenging the division\u2019s top teams for a place in Europe. Como are currently three points behind fourth-placed Juventus in the race for Champions League qualification.<\/p>\n<p>Discussing his future, Fabregas admitted the Premier League is a long-term goal. However, the 39-year-old said he is in no rush to get to England with a long coaching career ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Premier League is the best league in the world. I\u2019ve always been very, very clear about it. I felt it as a player, I feel it as a coach, as a fan,\u201d he told The Telegraph.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut (Jos\u00e9) Mourinho told me one day when I was at Chelsea \u2018I still have 30 years to work\u2019. So I could be here (Como) for 10 years, and you can still go to the Premier League in 12, 15 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read \u2013\u00a0Midfield Magicians: Cesc Fabregas, a Catalan creative genius<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>See more \u2013\u00a0Premier League players have scored and assisted 10+ goals in all competitions this season<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Follow the Football Faithful on Social Media:<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Facebook\u00a0|\u00a0Instagram\u00a0| <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FootyFaithful_\">Twitter<\/a> | YouTube | TikTok<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cesc Fabregas has said the Premier League \u2018is the best league in the world\u2019 but&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4131,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4130"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4130\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
