Inter Milan in Talks with Arsenal Legend Cesc Fabregas to Replace Simone Inzaghi

Inter Milan Fabregas discussions gain momentum as the club moves closer to appointing the Arsenal legend as their new manager.

Inter Milan is actively negotiating with former Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas to replace Simone Inzaghi as head coach. The club is eager to secure a fresh managerial approach after Inzaghi’s departure, and Fabregas’ rise in coaching has positioned him as a prime candidate for the Nerazzurri’s future. As discussions around Inter Milan Fabregas intensify, fans are eager to see if the Spaniard will take charge and usher in a new era for the club.

After leading Inter Milan for four years, Inzaghi stepped down in the wake of a humiliating 5-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final. His tenure saw the club reach two Champions League finals in three years, narrowly missing out on the Serie A title this season. Inzaghi is now expected to sign a lucrative deal with Saudi club Al-Hilal, making him the highest-paid coach in football.

With Inzaghi’s exit, Inter Milan is keen to appoint a new manager swiftly, especially with their Club World Cup campaign set to begin on June 18 against Monterrey.

Fabregas, who enjoyed a stellar playing career with Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, and AS Monaco, transitioned into coaching after retiring in 2023. He took charge of Como’s Under-19 team before being promoted to first-team head coach despite lacking the required UEFA coaching badges. Officially appointed in July 2024, Fabregas led Como to a 10th-place finish in Serie A last season.

His impressive work at Como has attracted interest from several clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen and AS Roma, but he turned down those opportunities to continue his project in Italy. However, reports indicate that Fabregas is keen on the Inter Milan job, with negotiations already underway.

Inter Milan’s management is looking for a coach who can develop young players and implement a fresh tactical approach. Fabregas has demonstrated his ability to nurture talent, making him an appealing candidate for the Nerazzurri’s long-term vision.

While Fabregas is the frontrunner, other names such as Roberto De Zerbi, Patrick Vieira, and Cristian Chivu are also being considered. Fabregas is expected to meet with Como’s president Mirwan Suwarso in London today to discuss his potential departure according to Corriere Dello Sport.

Inter Milan hopes to finalize a deal with Fabregas by the weekend, ensuring a smooth transition before their Club World Cup campaign kicks off. If appointed, Fabregas will face the challenge of maintaining Inter’s competitive edge while implementing his own managerial philosophy.

With his deep understanding of the game and a promising start to his coaching career, Fabregas could be the perfect fit to lead Inter Milan into a new era. Fans eagerly await official confirmation as negotiations continue.
