Cesc Fabregas is set to immediately begin a coaching career.

The former midfielder announced his retirement yesterday.

The Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea title winner had a year to run on his Como contract, but chose to hang up the boots.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano is reporting: "Cesc Fabregas will now become new head coach of Como B and Primavera teams, following the Italian club's long term project."

Cesc says: “This is the perfect moment for me to start my career as a coach."
