The obvious question now is: How long will Fabregas spend in charge of Como? He is considered to be one of the most promising young coaches in world football, which suggests that he will attract interest from leading clubs across Europe.
Given his professional ties to the likes of Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea, could he head back to Emirates Stadium, Camp Nou or Stamford Bridge?
Four-time Serie A title winner Ambrosini said when that question was put to him: “Yeah, of course he can. But you know Xabi Alonso. I talk about Xabi Alonso because it's the kind of situation that we used to talk about for him. You have to find the right place.
“Okay, you have to talk with the owner. You have to find a situation where you can do what you think is good for you. And with the atmosphere.
“So of course Barcelona would be, could be, a good choice. I don't know about Real Madrid, because Real is a strange situation. But maybe Chelsea. Chelsea had a good manager because Enzo Maresca was a good manager. I don't know what happened, but Enzo is a good manager. I'm not sure Cesc will leave the Italian league. No rush.”
