Cesc Fabregas Named Como Coach as Club Signs Alberto Moreno and Pepe Reina
Cesc Fabregas has been confirmed as the new head coach of Como, ahead of their return to Serie A after 21 years. Fabregas, who played a key role in Como’s promotion last season, signed a four-year contract.
The club has also signed former Spain defender Alberto Moreno on a one-year deal, with a potential extension. Moreno, a Europa League winner with Sevilla and Villarreal, joins after leaving Villarreal.
Recently, Como faced criticism when a player made a controversial comment comparing South Korean forward Hwang Hee-chan to ‘Jackie Chan’ during a friendly match. The club defended the player, stating it was not meant derogatorily.
Additionally, Como signed veteran goalkeeper Pepe Reina until June 2025. Reina, who has played for Barcelona, Liverpool, and Bayern Munich, will serve as a backup for Pau Lopez, expected to join from Marseille.
Como’s Serie A season kicks off with a match against Juventus.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
