RB Leipzig Consider Fabregas Among Managerial Candidates

 

CESC FABREGAS TO RB LEIPZIG? GERMAN GIANTS EYE EX-ARSENAL STAR AS NEW BOSS AFTER COMO SUCCESS

Bundesliga Giants Plot Audacious Bid to Poach Spanish Legend from Como

In a move that could mirror Xabi Alonso’s rise at Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig are preparing a bold attempt to lure Cesc Fàbregas away from his role as Como 1907’s assistant coach to become their new head coach, sources confirm.

The former Arsenal, Barcelona, and Chelsea midfielder, who has been working under Dennis Wise at the newly promoted Serie A side, is now being eyed as a progressive, attack-minded successor to Marco Rose after Leipzig’s underwhelming season.

Why Leipzig Want Fàbregas

1. The "Xabi Alonso Effect"

Clubs now seeking young, elite-minded ex-players as coaches

Alonso’s Bundesliga success has set blueprint for fast-tracking legends

Fàbregas has similar tactical IQ & winning pedigree

2. Como’s Remarkable Rise

Despite limited experience, Fàbregas has helped:

✔ Guide Como to Serie A promotion

✔ Develop an attractive, possession-based style

✔ Earn praise for man-management of Dele Alli

3. Leipzig’s Red Bull Philosophy

Prefers young, dynamic coaches who develop talent

Fàbregas’ multilingual skills (speaks 5 languages) fit global model

Seen as ideal to maximize Leipzig’s young stars (Openda, Simons, Sesko)

The Obstacles

1. Como’s Reluctance to Lose Him

Key part of project after promotion

Close bond with Dele Alli, who revived career under him

2. Lack of Head Coach Experience

Only assistant manager so far

Big jump from Serie B to Bundesliga/Champions League

3. Competition

Other clubs monitoring (including Marseille & Monaco)

Leipzig may face bidding war for compensation
