Cesc Fabregas has set his sights on managing in the Premier League one day.

The former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder retired in the summer and is currently working as a first-team coach at Serie B side Como.

Fabregas is determined to make it as a coach and last season he spent time at Arsenal doing some sessions with the club’s Under-18 manager, Jack Wilshere.

That got Gunners fans excited about the prospect of Fabregas returning to the club as part of the coaching staff, but he is keen to become a No1.

“You never know how the future will go, but I want to be a main coach,” Fabregas told Standard Sport.

“I am doing my own way at the moment. 100 per cent my ambition one day is to coach a top club in the Premier League, the Champions League.

“But you need to respect the right steps. I feel I am ready to be a first-team coach already so I don’t really want to go into these types of little coaching on the side or being an assistant.

“I have very clear things in my mind that I just want to be a main coach, a first-team coach, and that’s why I will do my own way until I am ready to jump onto a big train.

“But for now, there is a long way to go. I am just getting started. I feel privileged for the opportunity Como has given me and I am very happy here.”
