Como have confirmed that Cesc Fàbregas will be their new head coach, signing a contract for a further four years.

Fàbregas was the lakeside club’s assistant last season under Oisin Roberts, helping to guide Como to Serie A for the first time.

But with Roberts now stepping into a more advisory role on the board, the former Spain international will take sole charge for the upcoming campaign.

Speaking to their official website, Fàbregas said: “I am so happy to be starting this season as head coach and I thank the ownership group for trusting me with this position.

“I share the ambitions of the group and believe this is just the start of where this club can go. It’s going to be a tough and important season but myself and the rest of the coaching staff are ready and we all believe.”

Como will kick off their Serie A campaign with a trip to Juventus on 19 August.
