Episode: Cesc FÃ bregas and the Work of Becoming a Manager
Description: Former elite players don’t automatically become elite coaches — and Cesc Fà bregas knows it. In this segment, we look at how Cesc Fà bregas is approaching management not as a legacy role, but as a craft.
From his philosophy that structure creates freedom, to the way he’s building ideas and habits at Como, this is a conversation about teaching, clarity, and why the next generation of managers may look very different from the last. It’s not about skipping steps — it’s about respecting how hard the job really is, and why that’s good for the game.
