Fabio Grosso’s spell in charge of Fiorentina is already over. After defeats against Roma, Frosinone, and Torino in the first three Serie A matchdays, the Viola club has decided to change head coach.

The decision came in the evening, after hours of reflection. Fiorentina officially announced that Grosso had been relieved of his duties as head coach of the First Team.

Below is the official statement:

"ACF Fiorentina announces that Fabio Grosso has been relieved, as of today, of his duties as head coach of the men’s First Team."

An ending brought about by a disastrous start: zero points, nine goals conceded, and just one scored. After the 4-0 defeat at the Olimpico against Roma and the 0-3 home loss to Frosinone, the 2-1 defeat to Torino proved decisive.

Against the Granata, Viola had even taken the lead through Pellegrino before surrendering to a comeback led by former player Mandragora and Adams. Protests then erupted once again at the Franchi, with a team so far unable to live up to the expectations created by a particularly significant transfer window.

Just a few months ago, Grosso had been chosen to begin a new cycle after an excellent two-year spell at Sassuolo. His experience in Florence, however, comes to an end after just three league matches.
