Como 1907, recently promoted to Serie A, officially appointed Cesc Fàbregas as the team's head coach for the next four years this Friday. This comes after the club had to appoint another coach last December due to Fàbregas not having the necessary license to coach in Europe.

"I am very happy to start this season as head coach and I thank the ownership group for the trust they have placed in me for this position," Fàbregas said in a statement released by the club.

The Catalan, who remained linked to the club during this period, stated that he shares "the ambitions of the group" and emphasized that "this is only the beginning of where this club can go."

"It's going to be a tough and important season, but both I and the rest of the coaching staff are prepared and we all believe in it," he added.
