Chelsea have been warned off appointing Cesc Fabregas as their next manager, with the former Blues star considered to be in need of more experience as his current Como side have a tendency to “fall apart” in big games. Tony Dorigo has explained to GOAL why an alternative option would be better at Stamford Bridge for now, allowing a familiar World Cup winner to retrace steps to west London at some point further down the line.

Cesc Fabregas has admitted that a return to the Premier League is firmly in his future plans as his managerial stock continues to rise at Como. The former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder has guided the Italian outfit to the brink of European qualification, sparking inevitable links with top jobs back in England.

Como president Mirwan Suwarso has confirmed that Cesc Fabregas is "free to go" to Chelsea if he wishes to take over at Stamford Bridge. Following the dismissal of Liam Rosenior, the Blues have identified their former midfield star as a top target. Despite his stake in the Italian club, the path is now clear for Fabregas to return to West London.

In the wake of Liam Rosenior's all-too-predictable sacking, Chelsea's search for a new head coach could and perhaps should come down to a choice between two Spanish tacticians. Andoni Iraola and Cesc Fabregas are the two leading candidates for the role - a result of the fine work they have done at overachieving Bournemouth and Como, respectively. However, as the Blues' owners face a defining appointment of their turbulent reign, who would be the right choice?

Como boss Cesc Fabregas has emerged as a contender for the vacant managerial post at Chelsea, but he has been sternly warned to avoid the "nightmare" situation at his old club. Former Blues midfielder Emmanuel Petit believes the Spaniard should wait for a return to Barcelona rather than step into the chaos at Stamford Bridge.

Cesc Fabregas has insisted that he remains fully committed to his long-term project at Como amid links with Chelsea and the Italy national team. The 38-year-old manager emphasised his family's happiness at the Serie A club and his desire for daily involvement on the training pitch as key reasons for staying put.
