Fiorentina set to appoint former Sassuolo boss Fabio Grosso, says ex‑player Carmine Esposito

Former Fiorentina striker Carmine Esposito discussed the club’s upcoming coaching change, confirming that Vincenzo Vanoli will leave and that Fabio Grosso will take over. Esposito praised Grosso’s work at Sassuolo, noting “Mi piace moltissimo e ha fatto un buonissimo lavoro a Sassuolo… ha una metodologia che dà un’impronta alla squadra”. He added that Grosso’s professional staff could give Firenze the identity and enthusiasm needed to compete for European spots.
