Former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas is reportedly being considered for the AC Milan managerial position.

Former Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas is being lined up to manage European giants AC Milan. The 37-year-old Spaniard, who has had a promising start to his coaching career at Como, is now regarded as the leading candidate to succeed Sergio Conceicao at the San Siro.

Fabregas, who enjoyed a glittering playing career with Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea, has transitioned smoothly into management. His tenure at Como has seen the club rise to the top tier of Italian football, and despite a challenging season, recent victories against Fiorentina and Napoli have boosted their chances of avoiding relegation.

The current AC Milan manager, Sergio Conceicao, has struggled to find success with the Rossoneri, with the team languishing in eighth place in Serie A and crashing out of the Champions League following a shock defeat against Feyenoord. As a result, the club’s hierarchy is already contemplating a change, and Fabregas has emerged as the frontrunner to take over in the summer.

Fabregas’s potential appointment at AC Milan has generated significant buzz in the football world. His former teammate at Chelsea, Loic Remy, recently tipped him to become a future Chelsea manager, praising his footballing intelligence and vision. With his impressive start at Como and a wealth of experience from his playing days, Fabregas could be the perfect fit to lead AC Milan back to glory.
