Former Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas continues to take the managerial world by storm, with his post-playing career truly kicking on.

The Spaniard has enjoyed a first full season in management with Serie A outfit Como, following a few years of coaching.

Cesc Fabregas recently helped the side secure their top-flight status, one year on from their promotion, with plenty of promise for the future.

As a result, the former Arsenal man has been linked with plenty of other managerial jobs in the game, with his style clearly catching the eye of some teams.

Leicester City were linked with Fabregas, following their relegation from the Premier League, but they aren’t the only team taking a look at him.

RB Leipzig linked with Cesc Fabregas as next head coach

With Cesc Fabregas’s impressive season at Como, teams are starting to queue up over a possible move for the manager.

One of those is RB Leipzig, with Sky Sports Germany reporting that the 38-year-old is one of two candidates for the vacant job.

Fabregas and Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner have appeared as the main candidates, following on from Marco Rose’s dismissal.

Leipzig currently sit sixth in the Bundesliga, two points off of a Champions League qualification place with two games to go.

A huge push into those places could help get the next manager through the door, though it remains to be seen who that could be.

If Fabregas were to join RB Leipzig, he could well help Arsenal land one of their main transfer targets in the summer.

Cesc Fabregas could hand Arsenal a transfer chance for Benjamin Sesko

With Fabregas lined up for the job at Leipzig, he could well join up with Arsenal transfer target Benjamin Sesko over the summer.

The pair may only cross paths briefly, with Sesko linked with a £68million exit in the weeks and months ahead.

The 21-year-old has continued to show great potential in his time with the Bundesliga outfit, finding the back of the net regularly.

Arsenal Insider understands that Arsenal scouts watched Sesko’s performance against Bayern Munich, which saw him score an outrageous finish against the Bundesliga champions.

It seems more likely that an exit is on the cards over a potential stay, with plenty of Premier League clubs lining up for his signature.

With Fabregas potentially joining the club, though, he could help convince Sesko to make the move to Arsenal over their rivals.

It remains to be seen whether that possibility is ahead, with plenty of moving parts before then.
