Former Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas is making his first foray into management with Serie A club Como, where he also holds a minority stake. After obtaining his UEFA Pro License, Fabregas has taken charge for eight games, guiding the team to a respectable 14th place in the table after a strong finish to their recent matches.

While Fabregas focuses on securing Como’s survival in the top flight, his former club Arsenal has reportedly taken notice of a young talent flourishing under his tutelage. Nico Paz, a 20-year-old attacking midfielder signed from Real Madrid, has impressed with three assists in six games this season.

Arsenal’s interest in Paz could spell trouble for Fabio Vieira, who is currently on loan at FC Porto. With Ethan Nwaneri already breaking through at Arsenal, the club might be seeking a more experienced player to fill the backup role behind Martin Ødegaard.

However, Paz’s potential move to Arsenal is complicated by a buy-back clause held by Real Madrid. Furthermore, Fabregas will likely hope Arsenal hold off on any move until the end of the season to allow Paz to help Como achieve their survival goals.

Paz’s future remains uncertain, but his impressive performances have caught the attention of some of Europe’s top clubs. It’s a testament to Fabregas’s managerial capabilities and a sign that the former Arsenal captain is ready to make his mark in the world of coaching.
