Cesc Fabregas’ name will undoubtedly be linked with the Chelsea manager’s job after Liam Rosenior was sacked on Wednesday.
Fabregas enjoyed a stellar playing career at Stamford Bridge, winning two Premier League titles, and is now excelling as a head coach at Como.
The Spaniard would be a hugely popular appointment, but Fabrizio Romano has revealed why Blues fans should not be excited about his return.

Fabrizio Romano rules out Cesc Fabregas from Chelsea manager search
Romano explained shortly after Chelsea announced Rosenior’s departure that Fabregas will not be replacing him this summer.
Fabregas is “totally committed” to staying at Como for the foreseeable future, as he is thoroughly enjoying his spell at the Serie A club.
“There are many rumours about Cesc Fabregas. Fabregas is totally committed to the Como project at the moment,” Romano said.
“Fabregas’ idea is to continue next season at Como and to play European football with Como. That’s what Fabregas wants to do.
Who do YOU want to see replace Liam Rosenior now he is sacked?
“So, if Chelsea decide to go all-in on Fabregas, I will let you know, but my understanding is he is really committed to the Como project.”
Fabregas would certainly have been an exciting option for the Blues, but he would be a similar risk to Rosenior.
While he was obviously a much better player than the Englishman, Fabregas remains very inexperienced as an elite-level manager.
Chelsea are supposedly exploring a change in approach with their next manager, with more successful coaches on their radar.
In that case, other potential candidates like Julian Nagelsmann and Diego Simeone would probably fit the bill more than Fabregas.
