Cesc Fabregas has made an excellent impression during his spell in charge at Como, turning heads across Europe.

Jody Morris believes Chelsea could prise Cesc Fabregas from Como if Behdad Eghbali makes two changes to the BlueCo project.

The former Arsenal and Blues midfielder was briefly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge when Enzo Maresca stepped down at the start of the year, but Chelsea appointed Liam Rosenior instead, who has since been sacked.

Calum McFarlane has been appointed as interim head coach until higher-ups at Stamford Bridge hire a permanent replacement in the dugout. As it stands, it remains unclear who will take the reins at the end of the season, but Fabregas has been mooted as a potential option by sections of the fanbase.

In his debut season as a first-team gaffer, the Spaniard helped Como finish in the top half of the table. Fabregas has since taken the Italian outfit to the next level, putting them in the mix for qualification to the UEFA Champions League.

Although the 38-year-old has previously expressed his affection for Chelsea, having made nearly 200 appearances as a player, Morris doubts whether he would prioritise a return to Stamford Bridge. The former Blues assistant coach said: "I'm a huge Cesc Fabregas fan.

"I think you only need to watch how he played the game to see that he's bright and intelligent. I loved him when he was a pundit, whenever he used to break down games and speak about players as individuals or teams.

"I loved listening to him, and I loved watching him play at Chelsea. He's done an amazing job at Como, truly amazing. Again, I think Chelsea's biggest problem – and this is only if they are looking at a change – will be getting that type of manager.

"I don't see Cesc Fabregas having a shortage of options for other managerial jobs. I just don't see it. Although he's got a connection to Chelsea, played there, and played there extremely well, I don’t see him coming unless there was a change in policy regarding recruitment and perhaps a difference in the level of player that you get through the door as well.

"I don't think people like Cesc Fabregas are ever going to come to Chelsea – well, not ever – but at the moment, his stock is extremely high, and I imagine he would have better options."

Morris told FindSisterSites that the Paris Saint-Germain boss would be his 'dream' replacement for Rosenior. The former Chelsea Under-18s boss said: "Again, Luis Enrique is never coming to Chelsea at the moment.

"But if you asked me for the dream selection if they did move Liam on, then he would be the one. Just because I love the way that he's got a PSG team playing that was underperforming and had a hell of a lot of question marks over them."
