Francesc Fabregas, the current head coach of the Italian Como, is tipped as the favorite to take over Leeds United, which secured a return to the Premier League. According to information from the Island, the Leeds management is considering a coaching change despite the success of the current manager Daniel Farke, who led the team back to the elite, writes "Tema Sport".
Cesc Fabregas, who only started his coaching career a year ago, quickly impressed with his approach and vision. After ending his competitive career with the Como team, the former Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and Monaco playmaker took over the coaching position at the club, and this season led the team to secure survival in Serie A. Under his leadership, Como demonstrated a stable game and currently occupies 12th place in the standings – away from the relegation zone.
Although without many years of experience on the touchline, the Spaniard quickly gained authority with an intelligent tactical approach, modern style of play and a strong relationship with the players.
However, the question mark remains over the future of Daniel Farke. The German returned the “Whites” from Yorkshire to the highest level of English football, but rumors of tension with the club management and differences in the vision for the development of the team could lead to his release.
If the deal goes through, this will be Fabregas' first managerial engagement in English football - an arena he knows well from his years as one of the best midfielders in the league.
Fabregas has a number of successes to his name, having become two-time European and one-time world champion with Spain.
