The 36-year-old Fabregas was in charge of the U19 at Como, where he ended his playing career last season. He now moves on after the dismissal of Moreno Longo. The board says it will look for a replacement, but until then Fabregas holds the sporting keys.
As a midfielder, Fabregas wore the shirt of Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea and Monaco. Then he finished at Como.
The club from Lombardy is currently seventh in Serie B and will play its next match on November 25 against red lantern Feralpisalo.
