Paul Scholes says Cesc Fabregas would have been ideal for Chelsea
In a recent episode of The Good, The Bad & The Football, Paul Scholes expressed that Cesc Fabregas would have been a great choice for Chelsea’s new manager.
“Not for United. But I actually think he might have been a better option for Chelsea than Liam Rosenior. He’s not right for Manchester United,” Scholes stated.
Scholes highlighted Fabregas’ calm and possession-focused approach, suggesting it would fit well with Chelsea as they aim for a rebuild.
The former Manchester United player praised Fabregas’ tactical progress and grasp of current football trends.
Scholes’ respect for Fabregas comes not only from his playing days but also from how smoothly he has transitioned into management.
While Rosenior is currently leading at Stamford Bridge, Scholes’ remarks have led to speculation that Chelsea might have missed a chance to bring back one of their most insightful former players.
Cesc Fabregas’ lasting legacy at Chelsea
Fabregas had a significant impact during his five years at Chelsea, making 198 appearances, scoring 22 goals, and providing 57 assists. Renowned for his vision and creativity, he played a vital role during one of the club’s most successful eras.
Joining in 2014, he was key to Chelsea’s 2014-15 Premier League title under Jose Mourinho, teaming up effectively with Diego Costa and Eden Hazard.
He contributed to another title under Antonio Conte two years later, reinforcing his status in Chelsea’s history.
Fabregas’ understanding of the club’s values and culture could make him a strong candidate for the future if Rosenior’s tenure turns out to be short-lived.
As Rosenior begins his management journey, Scholes’ comments suggest that Fabregas could still play an important role in Chelsea’s future.
