Theo Walcott, former Arsenal forward, backs Cesc Fabregas as the ideal successor for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
Walcott, who collaborated with Fabregas at Arsenal, lauds the Spaniard's coaching prowess.
Fabregas, currently serving as assistant manager for Serie B's Como, played a crucial role in the team's promotion to Italy's top flight for the 2024–25 season.
Walcott sees Fabregas as possessing similar coaching qualities to successful figures like Xabi Alonso, Mikel Arteta, and Guardiola himself.
Walcott said (via Football365): “He is a born winner, very similar to the way you see someone like Xabi Alonso or a Mikel Arteta or even a Pep Guardiola coming through. I just feel he has that aura about him. Again, when he speaks, the players listen. They are attractive to players now. It will be a great club to go to and a great place to live.
