Fiorentina undergoes squad overhaul and celebrates centenary

Fiorentina is undergoing a significant squad overhaul following a busy summer transfer market. Under manager Fabio Grosso, the club has transitioned toward a more international roster, completing 13 new signings while offloading 28 players. The new squad features talent from Brazil, Romania, France, Spain, Ivory Coast, Portugal, Argentina, and the Netherlands, with Willy Gnonto being the sole Italian arrival.

On the pitch, the team has faced a difficult start to the Serie A season, currently sitting with zero points after losses to Roma and Frosinone. The club is looking to find stability with new additions such as Beto, Pedro Gonçalves, and Willy Gnonto.

Amidst the competitive challenges, the club recently celebrated its centenary at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. The event featured a match between the Fiorentina All Stars—including legends Gabriel Batistuta, Luca Toni, and Adrian Mutu—and an 'Operazione Nostalgia Legends' selection. Batistuta, who scored twice during the celebration, expressed his deep emotional connection to the city and the club's supporters.
