In a surprising turn, former Arsenal winger Theo Walcott has thrown his support behind ex-Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas as the ideal successor for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
Praising Fabregas’ coaching qualities honed during his current assistant manager role at Como, Walcott compared the Spaniard to successful managers like Xabi Alonso and Mikel Arteta, highlighting his leadership and player influence.
Walcott, via Football365, expressed his belief that Fabregas possesses the “born winner” mentality crucial for a top club like City and hopes to see him manage in the Premier League, potentially even taking the reins from Guardiola in the future.
