Chelsea who are in danger of completely ending up out of European competitions next season. – The London club, which has one of the world’s most valuable squads, is in a pathetic 9th place in the Premier League table.
Poor Calum McFarlane has been given the job of leading Chelsea until a permanent manager is in place. He temporarily took over from Liam Rosenior just like he did this winter for 6 days after Enzo Maresca.

Some believe it is the chaos at Chelsea that is the reason why it is difficult to find a new manager, in the case of Cesc Fàbregas, who has also been mentioned in other Premier League contexts, it is the desire to stay where he is that weighs heavier than a giant salary. (And at Chelsea, huge severance packages)
Cesc Fàbregas turns down Premier League – wants to stay at Como
Cesc Fàbregas has been in charge of Como since the summer of 2024, and has taken the club all the way to the top of Serie A. Currently, the team is in 6th place in the league, with the realism of a Champions League place for next season intact. – That in his first managerial job at a club that has significantly smaller budgets than the several other clubs in the league.
The 39-year-old has previously been linked with the manager’s job at Chelsea. Now, transfer journalist Nicolò Schira reports that two unnamed Premier League clubs have contacted Fàbregas – but received a blank no from the Spaniard.

Cesc Fàbregas has become known for his inspiring speeches, such as this one from about a week ago.
According to the information, the former big player will continue in Como next season as well, where he is a co-owner.
During his career, Fàbregas played for Arsenal, Chelsea and Barcelona, among others. He also helped win two European Championship gold medals and one World Cup gold with Spain.
That means Chelsea will have to look further, there is talk of bringing back Frank Lampard and Jose Mourinho.
