Soundbite #2 - Cesc Fabregas: The Difference In Leading As A Player Versus A Manager
"Will the "manager Fabregas" be different from the "player Fabregas" in terms of how he leads?"
Short excerpt from Markus Fjørtoft's (@MarkusFjortoft) chat with Cesc Fabregas (@cesc4official) on how he would lead as a manager.
“My experience is that every time they gave me time to analyze the game from my POV when I’m on pitch, I’ve always been the better player.”
Cesc Fàbregas has taken his coaching badges through The PFA. He is currently undertaking the UEFA A licence with the help of Jim Hicks, Head of Coaching, and David Bridges (@DBProTraining), Coach Educator.
