Chelsea and Manchester City both have an interest in Como manager Cesc Fabregas, with some uncertainty surrounding Liam Rosenior’s future.
It’s also seemed likely for some time now that Man City may be about to bid farewell to Pep Guardiola, though nothing has been confirmed yet.
Still, according to a report from TEAMtalk, both Chelsea and City are keen admirers of Fabregas after his impressive stint in charge of Como in Serie A.
The 38-year-old Spaniard is still relatively inexperienced in management, but has quickly gained a big reputation for the job he’s done with Como, with his side currently sitting in fourth place in the Italian top flight.
It may be that Rosenior’s position at Chelsea is safe for now, even if he’s not made the most convincing start since replacing Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge back in January.
CFC may be prepared to give Rosenior more time as it’s not easy coming in midway through the season, and talkSPORT are one of the outlets playing down talk of him being sacked.
We’ve seen Chelsea being quick to change managers before, though, and TEAMtalk suggest Rosenior may not be entirely safe if the club fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Fabregas, a former Chelsea player, could then be a popular choice to come in as the west London giants’ next manager.
The Telegraph have been among the outlets to cast major doubt over Guardiola’s future at the Etihad Stadium beyond this season.
City fans will no doubt hope the Spanish tactician stays for a bit longer, but there have also been some signs of his project perhaps being past its peak now.
Fabregas played under Guardiola at Barcelona, so could make sense as an ideal candidate to come in and continue his work.
It would be a big ask, however, to replace arguably the best manager of the modern era, so the club might opt for someone more experienced.
