Arsene Wenger is Arsenal’s greatest-ever manager.

The legendary Frenchman spent over two decades at the helm of the Gunners, and he is the biggest reason why Arsenal are such a huge brand across the globe today.

Wenger was not just a brilliant manager, but he always had the ability to spot greatness — not just in players but in managers as well.

The former Arsenal boss is now really impressed with one old Gunners star who is now a manager — Cesc Fabregas.

Arsenal should listen to Arsene Wenger’s latest prediction about Cesc Fabregas

Mikel Arteta is Arsenal’s manager right now, and we don’t want that to change anytime soon.

The Spaniard has done a remarkable job over the last few years, and we are convinced that he will lead the club to the biggest trophies.

There will, however, come a time when Arteta or Arsenal will look for a change, and the owners and the rest of the board need to be prepared.

One manager Arsenal should be keeping a close eye on is their former captain Fabregas, who has done a fantastic job at Como in Italy.

Arsene Wenger has claimed that he did not expect the Spaniard to be this good this quickly. He also predicted that Fabregas will become a ‘great manager’ in the coming years.

The Arsenal legend told Marca: “The truth is that I did not expect such quick success, but I do believe that Fabregas is going to be a great coach in the future.

“Put it like this in MARCA because that’s what I feel.”

“Sometimes when you go from playing to coaching so quickly, it’s hard to adapt, and he has done it very quickly. He has invited me to go to Como to see him, and at some point, I will fulfil that invitation.”

How has Cesc Fabregas fared as Como’s manager?

Fabregas had a fantastic debut season as manager of Como.

The 38-year-old had a massive job on his hands at the start of the campaign. The objective was to avoid relegation, and they didn’t start well – no wins in their first four Serie A games.

However, Fabregas managed to turn things around as the season went on. Como ended the campaign with just one defeat in their final nine games and finished the season in 10th, which was beyond most fans’ dreams.

The World Cup winner will hope to fare even better next season, and if he continues to succeed, he will join a top club one day.

Arsenal should be keeping tabs on Fabregas — he could be their next manager.
