Real Madrid Monitor Como Manager Cesc Fabregas as Potential Long-Term Successor to Jose Mourinho

Under 39-year-old manager Cesc Fabregas, Como are enjoying a sensational campaign, sitting fifth in Serie A just six points behind leaders Lazio after 11 matches, while also pacing inside the automatic qualification spots for the Champions League knockout stage. These stellar results have caught the eye of European giants, with Bernabéu Digital reporting that Real Madrid view Fabregas as an ideal candidate to eventually succeed Jose Mourinho.

While Madrid currently maintain full confidence in Mourinho and view this as a long-term prospect, Fabregas's stock continues to rise rapidly. Despite his deep-rooted ties to Barcelona as a player, the Spanish coach would not rule out a future move to the Santiago Bernabeu. Furthermore, should he take over at Madrid, Fabregas is reportedly keen on bringing former Real Madrid academy star Nico Paz along with him.
