Como head coach Cesc Fàbregas recalled playing under Antonio Conte ahead of the match against Napoli in Serie A.

Quote: "Conte is probably the best coach in recent years. He was my coach at Chelsea for two seasons. I wasn’t playing at first, but I learned a lot from him. He made me suffer a bit during training, but I respect him immensely. He showed me things I had never seen before in my career.

He told me at the beginning that I wouldn’t be part of the starting lineup, but he was always respectful. I worked hard and didn’t complain, and after four months, I became a regular starter. I learned a lot from his methods and his mentality.

He constantly questions himself, and he’s made some changes in Napoli compared to his usual system. I think we have also found a system that fits our characteristics,” said Cesc.

Reminder: Before the start of the new season, Fàbregas officially became Como's full-time head coach, dropping the interim tag. He led the team to promotion to Serie A.
