Fiorentina sacks Fabio Grosso after three consecutive defeats
Fiorentina has dismissed head coach Fabio Grosso following a disastrous start to the Serie A season. After three consecutive defeats against Roma, Frosinone, and Torino, the club left Grosso without a single point, having conceded nine goals while scoring only one.
The decision follows a reported heated confrontation between Grosso and sporting director Fabio Paratici regarding squad construction and transfer market strategies. Despite significant summer investment totaling approximately 130 to 150 million euros and 13 new signings, the team's performance failed to meet expectations.
In a swift move, the club has reappointed Paolo Vanoli, who previously guided the team to safety last season. Vanoli has already begun training with the squad. Reports suggest the club may also pursue disciplinary action against Grosso through federal commissions regarding the circumstances of his departure.
