Coach Osian Roberts, who with Cesc Fabregas on the bench led Como to promotion to Serie Ahas announced that he has rejected an offer from the Wales national team, his home country.
Roberts writes on his social media profiles: “I would like to thank the Football Association of Wales for expressing an interest and approaching me for the role of Wales national team coach. As an incredibly passionate and proud Welshman, I would love to be Wales manager one day. Currently, however, I am on an incredible journey with Como, having helped them secure a historic promotion to Serie A. I am committed to this fantastic club and exciting project until at least 2026 and will be forever grateful for their support and faith in me.”
It continues and concludes: “I wish the Wales national team every success in the new chapter they are embarking on. To the Red Wall and all the Wales fans with whom I have shared tears and joy, I would like to genuinely thank you for the support I have always received from you, especially in recent weeks.”
