Fabregas has emerged as one of the talented managers recently.
Cesc Fàbregas, the 39-year-old head coach of Como, recently expressed his opinions in an interview regarding the Xabi Alonso and Vinícius Júnior situation that arose during Alonso’s time in Madrid.
The hiring of Xabi Alonso by Real Madrid was an indication of the team’s attempt to change with the times and embrace new ideas.
The president was searching for an experienced and seasoned veteran as an option. The dressing room has made it clear that no novice manager with new ideas can govern them.
Meanwhile, Cesc Fabregas, who has been shaping Nico Paz into a unique player at Como, is himself one of the young and talented coaches who has indirectly benefited Real Madrid.

Lastly, the Serie A coach was questioned about the incident involving Xabi Alonso and Vinicius Jr., which appeared to start a chain reaction that ultimately resulted in the team’s demise this season.
“What happened between Xabi Alonso and Vinícius… That’s a moment when you have to be ready to make the right decision, and above all—and this is what makes you a better coach—you have to think of the team first.”
”No one is more important than the team, no one is stronger than the team, and no one stands above the team.” Fàbregas stated.
At Real Madrid, Vinícius Júnior and Xabi Alonso had a tough relationship. The Brazilian struggled to adjust to playing in a new position and the tactical demands of the coach. Conflicts resulted from this, and in January 2026, Los Blancos decided to relieve the Spanish manager of his job.
