Overview
- Fiorentina dismissed head coach Fabio Grosso on Sunday after the team lost its first three Serie A matches and sat bottom of the table with zero points.
- The start included heavy league defeats of 0-4 to AS Roma and 0-3 to Frosinone followed by a 1-2 loss to Torino, results that the club cited in making the change.
- Grosso’s only victory at Fiorentina came in the Coppa Italia first round against Benevento, leaving his league record at zero wins at the time of his sacking.
- Grosso is a 2006 World Cup winner for Italy and has a mixed coaching record that includes promotions with Frosinone (2023) and Sassuolo (2025) and an unsuccessful spell at Olympique Lyon.
- The club has not named a successor, leaving short-term uncertainty for players and management and raising immediate questions about recruitment, tactics and leadership after summer investment meant to reverse last season’s struggles.
