Fabregas Reveals Details of Previous Offer from Ancelotti

Spanish Cesc Fabregas, the current coach of Como FC in Italy, revealed the behind-the-scenes of a previous offer from coach Carlo Ancelotti when the latter was in charge of Napoli, and talked about his coaching experience while praising several top coaches he has worked with.

Fabregas said: "My personal project was to continue playing, but at the same time I started to see myself as a coach, and Como gave me that opportunity."

He added: "I was following the youth team, completed a coaching course, and bought some shares in the club; everything happened much faster than I expected. I signed a two-year contract to play, but after the first season I no longer had the energy, and that’s when my coaching journey began early."

Regarding Ancelotti's offer, Fabregas clarified: "I was in a restaurant, and when my agent saw him, he told me: 'You’ll see that Carlo will ask you about coming to Napoli,' and indeed his first words were, 'Are you ready to come with me?'"

Fabregas also praised coach Jose Mourinho, saying: "I owe a lot to Mourinho, and I have said this on several occasions, adding: 'People see Mourinho and Guardiola as different, but from my perspective, both share an obsession with winning, a winning mentality, and a great ability to transfer this spirit to the players; Antonio Conte is not much different from them.'"

The Como coach concluded his statements by saying: "The Como project is still in its early stages, and we aspire for further development in the upcoming period after officially securing our stay."
