After having promoted Como 1907 to Serie A, Cesc Fabregas continues his apprenticeship as a coach by trying to keep the Lombards in the elite level of Italian football. The former Spanish midfielder already stands out with his style of play and positive management. The latest example, after Como's defeat (2-1) against Atalanta, after which the Catalan coach gave a motivating speech to his players, gathered together in the center of the pitch. "I became a coach for moments like these. I am proud of each and every one of you, thank you very much. This is our team. We dominated them, keep it up because this is only the beginning. I want to see the hunger you have had today throughout the season. Keep your head up!" An example of transformational leadership as the world champion tries to transform frustration into constructive energy for the rest of the season. A useful strategy to bounce back quickly and build a solid collective dynamic in the long term.
