Fiorentina reshapes squad and tactics under new coach Fabio Grosso

A.C. Fiorentina has entered a summer rebuild following the appointment of former defender Fabio Grosso as head coach. Grosso confirmed goalkeeper David De Gea as captain and has already used the pre‑season friendly against QPR to test several formations, shifting from a 4‑1‑4‑1 to a 4‑3‑3 and experimenting with players such as Brescianini on the left‑back flank.

The club’s transfer activity reflects a new policy: key players will not be loaned out, and the market focus is on strategic moves. negotiations are underway to send defender Matías Moreno to Venezia, while Pietro Comuzzo is close to a loan‑with‑option‑to‑buy deal with Torino. Discussions about striker Moise Kean’s future also continue, with the club weighing a contract extension against a possible sale.

Overall, Grosso aims to strengthen the roster, solidify leadership, and improve Fiorentina’s chances in both Serie A and the UEFA Conference League, where the team remains a contender for a deep run.
