And he is already taking ideas from three of the Premier League’s best managers in Pep Guardiola, Mikel Arteta and Roberto De Zerbi.

Fabregas, 36, told Sky Sports: “I study other coaches.

“Not the coaches themselves but their philosophies. I am just at the beginning and do not pretend I know everything.

“At the moment, De Zerbi, Guardiola and Mikel Arteta are the three I follow in the Premier League and get most ideas from.”

The reveal was music to Blues fans’ ears as one said: “Cesc will lead us to greatness in a few years time.”

Another added: “Chelsea gaffer one day, I just know it.”

One hailed: “Our gaffer will be here in the future.”

Chelsea are currently labouring in 9th and struggling under Mauricio Pochettino.

Meanwhile, Guardiola is a five-time Premier League winner while his former protege Arteta has taken Arsenal to title contenders.

And De Zerbi has won praise for his creative style of play at Brighton – who are above Chelsea in the table – and has even been linked with Real Madrid.

Fabregas finished his playing career at Como and then took on a coaching role having invested in the club with Thierry Henry.

He was interim manager but stepped down in December so that he can finish off his Uefa coaching licence.

Chelsea legend Dennis Wise is the club’s president and together with Henry, the trio are looking at a long-term project.

Fabregas said: “It is something that brings more fire inside of the belly because this is a project where there are so many wins, not only on the pitch.

“There are so many things we want to do. We are trying to grow. The people taking care of the club are so ambitious.

“We just moved to a new training ground. We want to improve it to make the players as comfortable as possible.

“It is very exciting because the stadium is a big part of the project too. We are looking at the best stadiums in the world to see what we can do here.”
