No way

He is 39 years 🇪🇸 His biggest career regret is never lifting a trophy as Arsenal captain, despite giving the club everything Cesc Fabregas joined Como as a player in 2022, then quickly moved into coaching. First the U19s, then interim first-team boss, assistant, and permanent head coach from July 2024 During COVID-19, he donated his entire Monaco salary for months and personally topped up training-ground staff wages so they wouldn't lose money. At 14, his parents separation was the hardest moment of his life. He was in total shock, punched a wall, and still carries the pain decades later. During that same crisis, youth coach Rodolfo Borrell gave him a Pep Guardiola No.4 Barcelona shirt signed "One day you'll be the No.4 of Barça" It gave him strength when he needed it most His mother broke down crying at the airport when 16-year-old Cesc left for Arsenal. She still gets emotional remembering the day she let him go On her first visit to London, seeing giant Sol Campbell with her tiny son instantly calmed her fears about him living alone abroad. As Arsenal captain he often went home and cried after defeats, then suffered sleepless nights while some teammates laughed on the bus about going out Saying goodbye to Arsène Wenger broke him. He couldn't speak without crying, so he later sent a text thanking the man who had been like a father figure His 95 year old great-grandmother contracted COVID. He offered to move her and other care-home residents to a hotel at his own expense His father once created an entire local team just so young Cesc could play football with his friends He and his family needed professional help to handle the sudden fame and money he earned as a teenager at Arsenal He cried tears of emotion during his final Chelsea appearance at Stamford Bridge, admitting the occasion simply overwhelmed him. He helped take Como from Serie B to Serie A, then guided them to a historic 4th-place finish and their first-ever Champions League qualification in 2025/26 Known for his obsessive work ethic (often 16-hour days) and calm, humble style, he focuses on building identity, belief, and continuous growth rather than short-term results. He promised his wife a long break after retiring as a player, but the hunger to coach was too strong. He couldn't stay away . . . . You've seen it all for yourself.
