Cesc Fabregas continues his remarkable success story with Como 1907, leading the Italian club to secure a spot in a European competition for the first time in its history.
The Road to Europe
Como defeated Hellas Verona on Sunday, thanks to a decisive goal by Anastasios Douvikas. This victory propelled the team to 65 points, placing them 5th in the Serie A standings.
With this result, Como has officially guaranteed a place in Europe next season. Their dream of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League remains alive, as they sit just two points behind 4th-placed AC Milan.
Even in the worst-case scenario, finishing 5th or 6th would see them enter the UEFA Europa League. Qualification for the Conference League is already bypassed, as they hold a commanding 10-point lead over 7th-placed Atalanta.

A Legacy in the Making
This historic milestone adds to Fabregas’s growing managerial resume. Since taking charge, he has:
-
Led the team back to Serie A after decades of absence.
-
Successfully avoided relegation during their debut top-flight season.
-
Secured European football within just two years.
Future Prospects
Securing a European spot likely cements Fabregas’s future at the club. Despite significant interest from major European teams—most notably Chelsea—the chance to lead Como on a continental stage makes his stay the most probable outcome.
