Tottenham and Man City track Como boss Cesc Fabregas for summer move
Tottenham and Manchester City are reportedly interested in appointing Como head coach Cesc Fabregas as they plan for potential managerial changes this summer.
Spurs are searching for a permanent successor to interim boss Igor Tudor, who signed a short-term deal to replace Thomas Frank earlier in the campaign.
The north London club are using this period to identify a long-term candidate capable of leading the team forward.
However, reports suggest they face significant competition from Premier League champions Manchester City.
Pep Guardiola’s future at the Etihad Stadium remains the subject of speculation, prompting City to monitor emerging coaching talent across Europe.
Rising star in Italy
Fabregas has earned widespread praise for his work with Como, guiding the Italian side with an attractive brand of football.
The 2010 World Cup winner has been described as “the next elite coach” by scouts observing his tactical evolution in Serie A.
Despite his historic allegiances to Arsenal and Chelsea, the former midfielder is reportedly open to the prospect of taking charge at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
While some supporters may hold reservations regarding his past connections to London rivals, the Spaniard’s burgeoning reputation suggests he could be a shrewd appointment.
Alternative options and tactical style
Tottenham have identified several potential candidates beyond the former Barcelona playmaker.
Oliver Glasner is expected to be available having confirmed his departure from Crystal Palace upon the expiry of his contract.
A return for Mauricio Pochettino appears unlikely at this stage, with the Argentine committed to the United States national team through the next World Cup cycle.
Fabregas’ tactical approach at Como mirrors the modern demands of the Premier League, utilising a structured possession game.
His teams typically operate in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 hybrid system, focusing on patient circulation and creating central overloads.
The young coach also emphasises immediate counter-pressing, a trait that appeals to top English clubs looking to control tempo and territory.
