Building beyond one coach
Suwarso declined to promise that Fàbregas would remain indefinitely, recognising that managers have ambitions and encounter new opportunities. Como nevertheless want his current work to strengthen the club. The Spaniard contributes to its football strategy as well as first-team playing style, with a football board discussing sporting decisions. The longer-term plan connects academy and senior football and includes developing coaches. Osian Roberts's appointment forms part of that approach. Recruitment combines data, international scouting and internal assessment, prioritising players who fit the philosophy and retain room to improve.
A wider business model
Under the Hartono family's investment, Como have spent more than €400 million on transfers and established themselves as Serie A competitors. Suwarso said earlier-than-expected Champions League participation accelerated squad planning, while the club worked with UEFA on financial compliance. Reducing dependence on ownership funding requires commercial growth: approximately 14% of commercial revenue comes from Como and its surrounding area, with shirt sales extending to London, Paris, Milan and New York. Tourism, hospitality and dining linked to Lake Como provide further opportunities. Community initiatives remain part of the project. Suwarso's stated ambition is an organisation capable of lasting across generations, rather than a guarantee of trophies or a permanent commitment from any individual.
