Cesc Fàbregas on Inter Milan’s radar
At the Lombard club, scenarios are already being considered in the event that the Italian strategist leaves the club. According to sources close to the club, it is Cesc Fàbregas who is high on Giuseppe Meazza’s wish list. The former midfielder from Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea has had a brilliant debut as a manager with Como, which he has led to promotion to Serie A and secured a comfortable position with a modern and forward-leaning style of play that has attracted attention across Europe.
Fàbregas’ profile fits with the renewal process Inter could undertake if Inzaghi leaves the club. In particular, the club values the Catalan coach’s ability to work with young talents and his knowledge of top football at the European level, in addition to his competitive instinct and tactical vision, which is polished through a playing career full of high-level experience.
Inter remain hesitant as they wait for the final decision of their current coach, but interest in the Como coach is real and growing. If the change of coach happens, everything points to the former Spain international being one of the best-placed candidates to start a new chapter at one of Italian football’s biggest clubs.
Inter Milan finished in 2nd place in Serie A this season, while Como ended up in the middle of the table.
