Fabregas mocked by AC Milan legend Nesta over tactical complaints

Como manager Cesc Fabregas was mocked by AC Milan legend Alessandro Nesta after the pair faced off as managers in 2025.

Nesta, then in charge of Monza, drew 1-1 with F0bregas’ Como and later took aim at the Spaniard’s perceived complaining, despite praise for his early coaching success.

"There are many types of football and the one who wins is right, then you may like it or not. The coach (AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri) has won a lot,” Nesta told DAZN.

“Today, there is Fabregas, who plays good football. Last year he complained after drawing with my Monza.

“He came up to me after the match and criticised us for playing man-to-man in defence. Years ago, it bothered him that Italians played catenaccio (a defensive system). There’s always something."
