Cesc Fabregas wants to get into management after football

By Jack Wilkinson

Cesc Fabregas believes he can play for "many more years" but admits he would like to try his hand at management in the future.

­­The Chelsea midfielder has played under some of football's greatest managers, including Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho, and he wants to follow in their footsteps one day.

Speaking to Soccer AM's YouTube channel, Fabregas said: "At this stage I would say that I want to get into management. In life anything can happen though, everything can change in your mind.

"I am still feeling very good, very young, I think I can play for many more years, so it's not something I feel I want to do straight away. But in the future I would like to try."
