Cesc Fabregas will lead Como into the Champions League for the first time in the club's history this season, with the Serie A side drawn to face Manchester United in the league phase. Thursday's draw pits one of Italy's most exciting teams against the Red Devils, though the exact date of the meeting is yet to be decided ahead of Saturday's fixture scheduling draw.
Fabregas's Management Rise
Fabregas, 39, has made waves in his first management job, guiding Como to fourth in Serie A with an exciting, attacking brand of football. He now gets to showcase his management on the continental stage, with Como also drawn against PSG and Barcelona.
Fabregas played for Barcelona at youth level before joining Arsenal as a teenager, but his return to his boyhood club in 2011 marked the beginning of his relationship with Daniella Semaan, who is 12 years his senior.
Relationship and Family
Daniella, 51, and Fabregas are still going strong 15 years on and have three children together: daughters Lia and Capri and son Leonardo. The Lebanese model, who has 4.3 million followers on Instagram, also has two older children, Maria and Joseph, from her previous marriage to Elie Taktouk.
They first met in a bizarre twist of fate at Japanese restaurant Nozomi in Knightsbridge, where she approached his table to ask for an autograph for her son, Joseph. Their romance began then, as they dated for seven years before marrying in 2018.
Queen of the WAGs
Among the most glamorous WAGs football has to offer, the 51-year-old has long possessed the esteemed label of 'Queen of the WAGs'. Daniella regularly shows off the luxurious life that comes with being a footballer's wife, with many of her Instagram posts featuring stunning breaks abroad and time spent with family and friends, alongside the likes of Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of Lionel Messi.
The pair built up a close friendship during Fabregas' four-year spell at Barcelona before he returned to England in 2016 to join Chelsea. The two families would holiday together and enjoy trips to picturesque locations like Ibiza and Portofino. Daniella is Fabregas' biggest fan, posting plenty of snaps from family trips to watch his Como side as well as travelling to watch Spain in the World Cup as a family.
