Cuomo has confirmed to Leverkusen on Monday that he will continue to work with 37-year-old Cesc Fabregas. If nothing unexpected happens, Fabregas will still serve as Cuomo's head coach next season.

Although the news has not been officially confirmed, it has been reported by reliable sources such as Gianluca Di Marzio, Fabrizio Romano and Gazzetta dello Sport.

Fabregas has won 1 Club World Cup, 1 UEFA Cup, 1 UEFA Super Cup, 1 La Liga, 1 Copa del Rey, 2 Spanish Super Cups, 2 Premier Leagues, 2 FA Cups, 1 League Cup and 1 Community Shield with Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and other teams in his career. He was also an important member of Spain's "Golden Generation" and won two consecutive European Cups (2008, 2012) and a World Cup (2010). He will retire in July 2023 and then start his coaching career at Como U19.

In July 2024, Fabregas was promoted to head coach of Como's first team. So far, he has led the team to 13 wins, 9 draws and 15 losses, ranking 10th in the Serie A standings.

Due to his outstanding coaching performance, Fabregas has attracted the attention of many clubs including Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, AC Milan, and Roma. German media such as Bild even reported last week that Fabregas had conveyed his intention to coach Leverkusen to Cuomo.

However, Fabrizio Romano and others subsequently refuted the report. They said that despite the endless rumors, Fabregas was never close to leaving Como. He remained fully committed and committed to the long-term development of the club and planned to coach Como for at least another year.
