Fiorentina is undergoing a major structural and tactical overhaul for its centenary season under head coach Fabio Grosso, who signed a contract through June 2028. Following the dismissal of Paolo Vanoli, Grosso has implemented a possession-based philosophy, aiming to rebuild the squad with a focus on technical quality and a 4-3-3 or 4-3-4 formation. Sporting director Fabio Paratici has led an aggressive recruitment drive, including the arrival of Arthur Atta, Radu Dragusin, Alex Jiménez, and Victor Valdepeñas. While the high-profile signing of Mastantuono marks a shift in ownership strategy, the club faces financial challenges, with expenditures exceeding 100 million euros against revenues of approximately 30 million euros. To manage the budget, the club is monitoring potential departures, including Fagioli and Gudmundsson. As the season progresses, Grosso has addressed defensive errors by emphasizing collective responsibility. Ahead of a match against Torino, Grosso noted that despite substantial transfer market investments, the focus must shift to valuing the existing squad and managing the group's growth potential to pursue the club's long-term project. To honor the club’s centenary, Fiorentina is hosting various commemorative events. General manager Alessandro Ferrari has emphasized the importance of honoring the club's history while looking toward the future under the leadership of Giuseppe and Catherine Commisso. In addition to the ‘Cent’anni di Fiorentini’ exhibition at the Palazzo Vecchio, the club held Vecchio and a match between Fiorentina All Stars and the Legends of Operazione Nostalgia. On September 10, 2026, Nostalgia, the Associazione della Stampa Toscana and Ussi Toscana will host an event at the Rai headquarters in Florence to on September 10, 2026. This event will honor journalists who have documented the club's history and to announce a registry for preserving the club's legacy.
