Como President Confirms Fabregas Is Going Nowhere Amid Inter Milan Interest

Como 1907 president Mirwan Suwarso has firmly dismissed rumors that manager Cesc Fabregas might leave the club. He called the Spanish coach a “crucial part” of their long-term project.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Como president Mirwan Suwarso has made a clear statement about the future of manager Cesc Fabregas. This comes amid speculation that he might leave. Suwarso declared: “We have a long term project and Cesc Fabregas is crucial part of it. He won’t leave the club.” Recent reports suggested that Serie A giants Inter Milan had contacted Fabregas to replace Simone Inzaghi. Inzaghi is set to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Fabregas, 38, has been key to Como’s success lately. He helped them get promoted from Serie B to Serie A for the first time in 21 years. In his first full season as manager, he achieved 13 wins, 10 draws, and 15 losses. This was a good performance for the newly-promoted team. Como has big plans beyond just surviving in Italy’s top league. They have partnered with Dutch giants Ajax. This partnership will start in January 2025. It shows their intent to become a major force in European football.

The club, backed by the Hartono company, reportedly offered Fabregas a new contract. They promised significant investment in the transfer market to improve the squad. This commitment to building a strong team seems to have convinced Fabregas to stay. He continues his project at Como despite interest from clubs like Roma, Milan, and Bayer Leverkusen, in addition to Inter Milan.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR COMO?

Como’s determination to keep Fabregas shows they have serious ambitions for the upcoming 2025/26 Serie A season. They have secured their place in Italy’s top league. Now, they want to build on their return to Serie A. The partnership with Ajax, which will last three years from January 2025, will give Como access to one of Europe’s best football development systems. Fabregas, who became manager at Como after ending his playing career with them in the 2022-23 season, will be crucial in implementing this long-term vision. Como aims to become a stable Serie A team with European ambitions.
