Fabregas sacks himself as manager of his own club one month after appointment
Premier League legend Cesc Fabregas has removed himself as manager of Como as he does not have his coaching badges.
The former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder found himself on the sidelines of the Serie B side after previous boss Moreno Longo was sacked. Fabregas, 36, actually did rather well, guiding his side to three wins in five matches while also studying for his coaching badges.
However, his brief spell at Como, who he co-owns with former team-mate Thierry Henry, has come to an end. Until he has his coaching badges, Fabregas has decided to bring in a manager who does have the necessary qualifications.
