Cesc Fabregas is continuing to impress at Como 1907 as his team won 2-0 away at Juventus, showing Arsenal why he will be perfect to one day replace Mikel Arteta.
Como produced a shock win in Turin as Fabregas’ team continues to march up the table in Serie A and towards the European spots.
👀 Who should be Arsenal’s manager at the start of next season: Mikel Arteta or Cesc Fabregas?
The Spaniard’s side are now sixth in the table, sitting just behind Juve and two points off the Champions League spots.
Fabregas has his team playing some brilliant football, along with getting great results, highlighting his potential to be a future manager at the Emirates Stadium.
Cesc Fabregas could be the perfect Mikel Arteta replacement at Arsenal
Cesc Fabregas is a head coach Arsenal should be keeping a very close eye on if Mikel Arteta were to depart the club in the future.
The 38-year-old is quickly emerging as one of the most exciting up-and-coming coaches in Europe, and he should be a contender to be the next Arsenal boss.
As Arteta has shown, the importance of having a manager who understands the Arsenal DNA is key, and that is certainly the case for Fabregas.
Comparing the two coaches, Fabregas deploys a similar 4-2-3-1 system to Arteta, with two deep-lying playmakers and a number ten.
Discuss Mikel Arteta’s future if Arsenal do NOT win the Premier League
But where the two differ is that Fabregas likes to give his attacking players more freedom, whereas Arteta’s system is very rigid.
Arteta’s team is very well drilled, but at times, it limits players like Martin Odegaard, Eberechi Eze and Bukayo Saka from really expressing themselves.
The exciting work Fabregas has done with a player like Nico Paz just highlights the way he allows his offensive players to express themselves.
But right now, Arteta’s team remain on course to create history in N5, and fans should be well behind them.
Cesc Fabregas on Arsene Wenger’s influence
Just recently, Fabregas spoke about the influence Arsene Wenger has had on his coaching career so far in Italy.
The Spaniard admitted that he learned a lot from Wenger during his time in North London, especially regarding ‘transitions, attacking the space’.
Speaking to DAZN via Football Italia, Fabregas said: “Arsene Wenger is like a second father to me, and obviously he worked a lot on transitions, attacking the space, something that is even more important in modern football. I learned a lot from him and want my team to do that.”
