Fabio Grosso has been sacked by Fiorentina after losing all three of his opening Serie A matches, ending the former Italy international’s tenure after just weeks in charge. Grosso replaced Paolo Vanoli, who had guided the club to safety last season, but failed to earn a single point as the new campaign began. Fiorentina opened with a heavy 4‑0 defeat to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, then suffered a damaging 3‑0 home loss to newly promoted Frosinone on the day of the club’s centenary celebrations.
The situation worsened on Saturday when Torino claimed a 2‑1 victory at the Artemio Franchi, leaving the Viola with nine goals conceded and only one scored across three games. The club confirmed his dismissal shortly after the defeat, beginning the search for a new manager. Grosso, a 2006 World Cup hero, departs as the first coaching casualty of the Serie A season following an alarming start.
