Cesc Fabregas Poised to Take Over
Petit predicts Cesc Fabregas will be Arsenal’s leading candidate to replace Arteta when the managerial position becomes available in future.
Fabregas, a former Arsenal and Barcelona star, currently impresses as head coach of Serie A side Como, gaining recognition for his leadership, reports Standard.
Petit highlights Fabregas’ growing authority, including managing players publicly, showing personality, and asserting control over decisions like player discipline and transfers.
His full control at Como demonstrates managerial maturity, preparing him to step into top-level management at Arsenal or other elite clubs.
If Arteta departs, Fabregas would ensure continuity while maintaining links to the club’s history, helping Arsenal sustain long-term ambitions and success.
