Fabregas, currently at Como in Italy, has played a significant role in their promotion to Serie A.
He initially joined Como as a player in 2022, became a shareholder, and took on coaching responsibilities.
Fabregas was interim head coach for seven games before stepping down due to licensing requirements, with Osian Roberts taking over until the end of the season.
Fabregas is set to complete his Pro Licence this summer, potentially allowing him to become Como’s full-time head coach.
It is uncertain whether Fabregas will leave his project at Como to return to Chelsea, where he enjoyed a successful playing career, winning two Premier League titles and the FA Cup.
