On Wednesday evening, two former English Premier League midfield rivals will face off at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia in Como, Northern Italy. Cesc Fabregas, a Spanish World Cup winner, currently manages Serie A side Como, while Michael Carrick, an English schemer, manages Manchester United. Both have enjoyed illustrious playing careers and moved into coaching immediately after retiring.
Fabregas joined Como in 2022, and under his leadership, the team returned to Serie A after a 21-year absence.
