Fàbregas was the club’s assistant and interim coach during last season. With the former player’s help, Como finished the 2023/24 second division in second place with 73 points and secured promotion to the country’s top league.

I share the group’s ambitions and believe that this is just the beginning of where this club can go. It will be a difficult and important season, but I and the rest of the coaching staff are ready and we all believe,” he said.
