Como 1907 manager Cesc Fabregas has addressed rumors regarding his future following the club’s achievement of securing Champions League football. Despite interest from clubs including Inter Milan, Napoli, and Chelsea, Fabregas stated, “When I make a decision, I do not change it.” He attributed the club’s “unprecedented” growth to player development and noted recent high-profile signings such as Yan Couto, Trevoh Chalobah, and Nico Paz.

As the 2026-27 Serie A season approaches, Fabregas has emphasized the difficulty of competing across multiple competitions, including Serie A, the Coppa Italia, and the Champions League. He described the Italian league as one of the most difficult in Europe due to the high level of competition. Club president Mirwan Suwarso has characterized this season as the most significant in the club's history, while urging players and fans to focus on long-term sustainability.

Ahead of the season opener against Udinese on August 22, Fabregas noted the logistical challenges of managing a young squad while the transfer market remains open, specifically regarding the ongoing search for a new center-forward. Regarding personnel, he confirmed that Nico Paz is available for selection despite recent muscle fatigue. While acknowledging the Champions League as a significant achievement, Fabregas reiterated that the primary focus remains on the domestic campaigns. 

The season begins with Inter Milan, led by Cristian Chivu, defending their Scudetto against Monza, while Napoli, under Massimiliano Allegri, faces Genoa. Como is positioned as a significant challenger in the race for the Scudetto as the new campaign commences.
