Arsenal weigh managerial change, shortlist Fabregas

Arsenal’s top officials are considering former captain Cesc Fabregas as a possible replacement for current manager Mikel Arteta.

Reports say Arteta could soon leave the club if results do not improve.

Arsenal started 2026 strongly and were competing for four trophies. However, their form has dropped in recent weeks. They lost 2-1 to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final and were also knocked out of the FA Cup by Southampton.

In the Premier League, Arsenal missed a chance to go 12 points clear at the top after losing 2-1 at home to Bournemouth. Many fans left the stadium early during that match, showing their frustration.

The club’s management is now worried about the team’s poor performance. They believe a change of manager may be needed if Arsenal fails to win any trophies this season.

Fabregas, who is currently coaching Como and doing well, is seen as a strong candidate to take over if Arteta leaves.
