Arsenal are currently six points clear at the top of the table with Manchester City pushing to close the gap. According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, the club hierarchy has been very patient with Mikel Arteta, and they want him to deliver trophies now. If Arsenal fail to win the league title this season, a sacking could be on the cards in the summer, with Cesc Fabregas an option to take over.
The report from the publication claims that Arsenal are looking at Cesc Fàbregas as a potential replacement. The 38-year-old has done an outstanding job at Italian club Como, and he’s regarded as one of the finest young managers in the game right now. There is no doubt that he could be a quality long-term option for Arsenal. He played some of his best football at the London club as well, and returning to his former club could be exciting for the Spanish manager.
He has shown his quality in Italy, and he will look to take the next step in his development. The move to the Premier League could be exciting for him. He would get to manage top-quality players at Arsenal and fight for major trophies. Even though he has done well at Como, they simply do not have the resources to win major trophies. At Arsenal, he will be able to compete regularly against elite clubs.
Fabregas has 16 wins and 10 draws in 32 league matches this season. His team has picked up four wins and a draw in five Coppa Italia matches as well.
Meanwhile, Fàbregas has been linked with multiple clubs in recent months. Other clubs are also monitoring his situation and could look to approach him about a managerial job.
It is fair to assume that the 38-year-old manager would be inclined to take over at Arsenal given his history with the club. He is also a fan favourite at the London club, and his appointment is likely to be welcomed by the Arsenal faithful.
For now, Arteta will look to hold onto his job for as long as possible by winning the league title this season.
