Cesc Fabregas destined for the Premier League says Didi Hamann
The Premier League Summer Series — the second edition of the pre-season tournament bringing world-class soccer and a Premier League
Former Germany and Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann believes Cesc Fabregas is destined to manage in the Premier League, but has praised the Spaniard for refusing to rush into a high-profile job.
Fabregas has impressed on the touchline after guiding Italian side Como to Champions League qualification. Having played under highly regarded managers such as Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, some would suggest it is little surprise to see the Spaniard thriving in the dugout.
Despite interest from top European clubs, Hamann insists Fàbregas’s elite playing background gives him a level of patience that many young managers lack.
Fabregas will become a Premier League manager says Hamann
“Cesc Fabregas will be a Premier League manager and I’m sure he has had the chance to take up those types of jobs already,” Hamann said. “Some of his quotes that have come out lately, how he approaches things and how he works with the owners, I find it fascinating to listen to him.
“I like his approach because he’s seen it all as a player,” Hamann told Andy’s Bet Club. “Sometimes you get managers who say, ‘I can go to Liverpool, I can go to Arsenal, or I can go to Chelsea,’ and they feel they have to take it. As a player, I never really had that mindset that if I don’t take the chance now, I may never get it again. He’s seen it all.”
Highlighting Como’s remarkable rise, Hamann praised the former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder for choosing stability over a quick move to a traditional European giant.
“He played for some of the best clubs in the world and was an outstanding player. I like the idea of him staying at Como for another season, especially having qualified for the Champions League, that was an outstanding achievement,” Hamann explained.
“I like the fact that he is staying put because we know these days managers often get sacked very quickly, but at the same time, when they’ve had a good six months, they’re often straight on to their agents to get them into a ‘better’ club for more money. He’s going a different way, and I like it.”
