Leverkusen relies on Fabregas: Does the trainer come with Spanish flair?

Bayer 04 Leverkusen faces a crucial phase because the club is looking for a new coach. Xabi Alonso announced his farewell at the end of the season and will switch to Real Madrid. However, the exact time of signature in Madrid is still pending. The club management, led by Fernando Carro and Simon Rolfes, is relieved by clarity and can now push the coaching search more intensively.

In the past few weeks, several names have been traded as potential successors of Alonso. Among them are Erik Ten Hag, Xavi Hernandez and Alvaro Arbeloa. CESC Fabregas, who is currently training the Italian club Como and has secured the relegation in Serie A, currently seems to be the main candidate. Fabregas is not only a coach of Como, but also co -owners of the club, which complicated his current position.

CESC Fabregas as a favorite

Fabregas is viewed by Bayer Leverkusen as the preferred candidate. Despite the initial rumors that he didn't want to leave Como, the pressure on Leverkusen has increased. According to the Italian transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio, the Leverkuseners are intensively interested in an obligation. Rolfes sent a delegation to Italy two weeks ago to meet Fabregas.

The club has not yet called for a transfer for Fabregas, but the departure of Alonso also has financial options. Leverkusen wants to present the new trainer quickly, ideally still in the coming week. The squad expects the new trainer to have an impact on possible new additions, which increases the urgency of the coaching search.

the trainer philosophy

Simon Rolfes emphasizes that the quality of the new trainer is crucial, even if someone prefers to be set with Spanish approach to continue Alonso's philosophy. Erik Ten Hag, former coach of Manchester United, would be immediately available, while Xavi and Imanol Alguacil are not options due to their language barrier. Rolfes is optimistic that Alonso's departure will not immediately lead to a emigration of players.

In his role as a coach of Como, Fabregas has so far led 371 games and achieved a point cut of 1.30. His desire to leave a good legacy could favor a move to Leverkusen. The 38-year-old, born on May 4, 1987 in Arenys de Mar, has already demonstrated his ambitions as a trainer and could represent an exciting enrichment for the Bundesliga.

The next steps in the coaching search for Bayer 04 Leverkusen will be crucial to set the course for the coming season. The association hopes to initiate a successful future with Fabregas or another top -class trainer.
