Fabregas’ first game as boss ends in carnage with two red cards and huge brawl
Cesc Fabregas' first game in management certainly wasn't a low-key affair, with a mass brawl resulting in two red cards.
The Spanish midfield legend was named as the interim boss of Serie B side Como ahead of the international break. And the Italian side said the club wants to "embark on a new path that hopefully will provide more excitement and entertainment for the fans."
The ex-Arsenal star is a co-owner of the club, and he played 17 times for them last season before retiring from playing and becoming coach of their youth and reserve teams.

Como welcomed Feralpisalo to their picturesque corner of Italy, and the game was in the balance when Patrick Cutrone netted for the side – only for VAR to rule it out for a foul on Feralpisalo's Federico Bergonzi.
And as the referee checked the monitor Gaetano Letizia appeared to grab Cutrone's throat as coaching staff from both dugouts tried to pull the teams apart.

Letizia was given his marching orders, and so too was Como's Daniele Baselli. And with bots sides down to 10 men, Alessandro Gabrielloni drilled the ball home to snatch the three points for Como.
“We played a good first half, but we had to finish off the game earlier,” ex-Barcelona man Fabregas said at a post-match press conference.
“Those who came off the bench gave their all, I had told Gabrielloni he would score and it happened. I’ve been feeling pressure since I was a kid and I must manage it. We must always improve and be united to reach our target.”
