Como manager Cesc Fàbregas, who has been linked with the Chelsea managerial role, openly admits his desire to return to the Premier League at some point in his career, leading a top-flight English team. The Spaniard considers it the strongest league in the world. However, Fàbregas, who spent twelve and a half years in England as a player, emphasized that such a move would likely be far off in the future.
“The Premier League is the best league in the world. I’ve always been very, very clear about that. I felt it as a player, I feel it as a coach, and as a fan. I remember José Mourinho telling me once when I was at Chelsea that he could work for another 30 years. So, I could be here at Como for another 10 years and still have the opportunity to go to the Premier League in 12-15 years.
Football is so unpredictable; it changes in a second. One day you’re the best. The next day you’re the worst. So, let’s enjoy the moment. I love to enjoy the moment. What we are experiencing here is beautiful. Let’s see what the future holds for us,” Fàbregas stated in an interview with “The Daily Telegraph.”
The former midfielder highlighted a crucial aspect he currently enjoys at Como, which he might not have if he were to take on the Chelsea job.
“I make all the football decisions. The sporting director is with me every day, and we see football the same way. Transfers? We work with data, we have scouts and other things, but it has to be something I believe in. It has to be a player I am convinced about. I am so happy and lucky to have a president who trusts me completely and has given me the confidence to make all the football decisions. That is really important to me.”
