Hazard urges Chelsea: Hire my friend in Como

Chelsea great Eden Hazard says former teammate Cesc Fabregas should be offered the manager's job.

Cesc has just helped Como win promotion to Serie A as part of a co-coaching team.

With Chelsea seeking a new manager, Hazard told talkSPORT: "Maybe (Roberto de Zerbi). I have my friend also in Como. He can be the first manager."

On the departure of Mauricio Pochettino, he continued: "I was a bit sad, to be fair. I think he did a great job. I know people want Chelsea to be in the top four but it's just a season of transition.

"He's a great manager. I wish him good luck. Let's see who's going to be there in the future."
