Cesc Fabregas: Ex Chelsea Midfielder Quits as Como Manager a Month After Taking Up The Role

• Cesc Fabregas took charge of Como a month ago after the sacking of Moreno Longo
• The former midfielder inspired the Italian Serie B side to three wins in five games
• The second-tier side have since turned to Osian Roberts to take charge of the club

Former Premier League midfielder, Cesc Fabregas has sacked himself as Como 1907 boss.

The Spaniard took up the role at the Italian Serie B side on an interim basis a month ago.

According to the BBC, Fabregas found himself on the sidelines after former manager, Moreno Longo was shown the door.

Longo's exit paved the way for the ex-Chelsea and Arsenal star to take charge temporarily.

His appointment to the role came just months after the 36-year-old hung up his boots after playing one final season for the Lombardy-based outfit.

Fabregas steps down as Como boss

However, the former Spain international has decided to step down from the role after just a month.

Fabregas resolved to end his brief stint despite enjoying an impressive run as the manager, winning three of the five matches he was in charge.

It is understood the midfield legend made the decision as he does not have his coaching badges yet.

Como have since turned to Osian Roberts to take charge of the club.

"We are thrilled to welcome Osian Roberts to our football family. With his exceptional track record in developing players and coaches, we envision Roberts as a long-term architect of success across all age groups and levels," Fabregas, who co-owns Como with Thierry Henry, said via Daily Star.

Prior to his appointment with the Serie B side, the Welsh tactician worked as Patrick Vieira's assistant at Premier League side, Crystal Palace.
