Cesc Fabregas has his heart set on a "dream" return to Barcelona as manager as he prepares himself for a career in the dugout - having taken notes on the qualities and shortcomings of his former bosses.
The iconic midfielder, 35, is working towards his coaching badges while continuing to ply his trade in Serie B - the Italian second tier - with Como. Many suspect Fabregas appears well-suited to life in the technical area due to his brilliant footballing brain and his wealth of trophy-winning experience from his decorated spells with Arsenal, Barca and Chelsea, as well as Spain at international level.
He has also worked under some of the finest managers in history, including Arsene Wenger, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho. Fabregas did not rest on his laurels during that time and instead wrote down what he saw as the pros and cons of the various managers he has learned from.
