Former Wales and Crystal Palace assistant boss Osian Roberts has been named caretaker manager of Italian side Como until the end of the season.

Welshman Roberts will be assisted by ex-Spain, Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who is a part owner of the Serie B club.

Como are currently third in the Italian second tier.

Roberts, 58, has been out of work since leaving Palace alongside boss Patrick Vieira in March 2023.

He will also work as head of development for Como. The club say he will focus exclusively on that role from the end of the 2023-24 season, when they will appoint a new manager.
