Under the management of Cesc Fabregas, Como FC has undergone a significant financial and competitive transformation. The club saw its squad market value increase by 80 percent to an estimated 538 million euros, driven by approximately 298 million euros in permanent transfer investments and a focus on young talent. Notable player Nico Paz saw his market value rise to 82 million euros during this period.

On the pitch, the club has transitioned into a competitive European side. Following a fourth place finish in Serie A, the team has performed strongly in the Champions League, recording major victories such as a 4-1 win over Manchester United and a historic 9-1 away victory against Lens. Fabregas described the win against Lens as an “almost unreal moment that occurs once in a lifetime.”

Fabregas, who is also a minority owner, has drawn interest from major clubs including Barcelona, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Reports suggest Barcelona may consider him as a potential replacement for Hansi Flick if performance levels decline. While Fabregas has a contract until 2028, Como president Mirwan Suwarso stated the club will not prevent him from leaving and would not seek financial compensation if he joined another club, such as Bayer Leverkusen.

Recent reports highlight Fabregas’s unique management style, which includes conducting tactical briefings for club owners before matches and utilizing mathematical models, such as expected goals (xG), to evaluate performance. Success is measured by statistical projections rather than just final scores. Following a period of six consecutive wins, the team recently suffered a 2:0 loss to Inter Milan.
