Como coach Cesc Fabregas has voiced his support for Roberto Mancini's return to the Italy job, saying he has long admired the Italian manager's work. Fabregas pointed to Mancini's time at Manchester City as the period when that respect first took shape.
Fabregas also said Mancini has already shown his quality with Italy, backing up the idea that he is well suited to lead the national team again. In his view, Mancini's value lies not only in results but also in the kind of football his teams try to play.
The endorsement from Fabregas presents Mancini as a coach with both a proven track record and a clear football identity. That combination, he suggested, makes him a strong fit for a high-pressure role such as the Italy position.
With attention now on Mancini's latest spell in charge, Fabregas' comments add a notable vote of confidence from within Italian football. His message was straightforward: Mancini has already proven himself and remains a coach associated with winning and good football.
