He could have given in to the sirens of the elite. Barely installed on the Bench of Como, promoted to Serie A, Cesc Fàbregas saw its name circulating on the side of Inter or Bayer Leverkusen. Enough to feed the rumors of a quick start, head to the very high level. However, the former Maestro of Arsenal and Barça made a choice against the current, by preferring to remain faithful to a much more modest project, but just as ambitious.

“I am very happy in Como”he told without detour to
Sky Italia. For FĂ bregas, this decision is not a whim or a career calculation. He talks about sincerity, teamwork and a daily life that fills him far beyond the spotlight. Surrounded by a dedicated staff, carried by a president whom he describes as “Available and respectful”, The young coach claims to have found a rare balance. “Even if it is not yet seen, we are just at the beginning”he slips.

This stability, he also connects it to a working environment where humans prevails. FĂ bregas insists on the values he wishes to transmit: hunger, mentality, attitude. He is looking for young players, eager to progress, capable of making the club grow as much as they themselves. A speech as a trainer, much more than a manager of stars. And a look that stands out in football often dominated by the logic of prestige.

FĂ bregas traces his path against the tide

Staying in Como is also an opportunity for him to learn at his own pace. After a player of playful drum, Spanish discovers a demanding job, where he finds the intensity he loves. “My life has always been fast, it is even more so as a coach”he said with a smile. And he seems to have sincere pleasure.

Far from the Europe giants, Cesc FĂ bregas traces its own path. A more discreet path, but perhaps more faithful to what he wants to become on a sidelines: a builder.
