Behind a team that fans have hailed as magical, 37-year-old Spanish soccer great Fabigas plays the role of shadow manager, and his emergence has allowed Bo to anticipate this coaching burden. Fabigas joined Cormu two years ago and announced his retirement last summer before transitioning to coaching the youth ranks. When Cormu changed coaches last November, Fabigas was called upon to serve as interim head coach. However, he was only granted a one-month exemption due to a lack of professional coaching credentials from UEFA. The team then hired former Crystal Palace assistant coach Loras as caretaker coach while Fabigas moved to assistant coach.
Although Loras is considered the only possible candidate to hang his hat on the coaching job, Fabigas' true intentions are clearly not stopping at just an assistant coaching position. He has already shown his desire for the marquee and has stated that he will not hesitate to return to the helm once he qualifies as a coach.
Meanwhile, Parma will be making their Serie A return after three seasons of trying to win the title.
