Cesc Fabregas Targeted by Real Madrid for 2026-27 Coaching Role
New reports emerging from Spain indicate that Real Madrid is closely monitoring Como's head coach, Cesc Fabregas, as a potential candidate for a significant managerial position at the Santiago Bernabeu, possibly beginning in the 2026-27 season.
Sources suggest that Fabregas has made a strong impression on Real Madrid's management. They reportedly appreciate his distinctive coaching philosophy and effective communication tactics, considering him a serious contender for the role in the upcoming term.
Currently, Alvaro Arbeloa serves as Real Madrid's interim manager, having taken over after Xabi Alonso's dismissal in January.
Fabregas Content at Como, But Real Madrid's Call Could Change Things
This potential offer from Real Madrid might be one of the few opportunities compelling enough to draw Fabregas away from his current, successful project at Como. He has remarkably guided the club to a joint fourth place in Serie A, level with Roma.
In just two years, he has transformed Como from a Serie B side into a team contending for Champions League qualification and reaching the Coppa Italia semi-finals against Inter.
At 38, Fabregas, a product of La Masia (Barcelona's youth academy), had a distinguished playing career spanning Arsenal, Chelsea, and AS Monaco before concluding it at Como in 2023.
Upon retirement, he immediately transitioned into management, leading Como to promotion from Serie B to the top division. This achievement was supported by substantial financial investment from the club's Indonesian ownership.
His tenure at Como also saw the signing of Nico Paz, a player Real Madrid is reportedly keen to re-sign using a buy-back clause.
