Reports emerged suggesting that Inter was eyeing Fabregas, the former Spanish international, to take over as the new coach. However, Como quickly shut down these rumors by issuing a statement confirming their refusal to let Fabregas go.
“We communicated our refusal directly to the president of Inter, who accepted it with the courtesy and clarity expected between clubs who hold a mutual respect,” Como stated in their official communication. They dismissed the speculation surrounding their coach as nothing more than “pure fantasy.”
Fabregas, a seasoned professional who has played for top clubs like Chelsea, Barcelona, and Arsenal, took on the role of coach at Como in July. It was at Como where he played his final game in 2023, showcasing his dedication to the team. Under his guidance, Como, known for their attractive style of play, secured a respectable ninth-place finish in Serie A.
With Inter’s interest in Fabregas thwarted, the club is now reportedly shifting their focus to Cristian Chivu, a former Inter player who currently manages Parma. Inzaghi, on the other hand, wasted no time in finding a new opportunity and officially joined Saudi club Al-Hilal.
As the transfer saga continues to unfold, fans are eagerly awaiting updates on Inter’s coaching situation and potential new signings. Stay tuned for more developments in the world of Italian football.
