Fabio Grosso faces potential sacking after Fiorentina loses to Torino
Summary

Fiorentina head coach Fabio Grosso faces increasing pressure following a 2-1 defeat to Torino at the Stadio Franchi on September 5, 2026. The result marks the club's third consecutive Serie A loss this season, placing them in an early campaign crisis. Mateo Pellegrino scored for the hosts, but goals from Rolando Mandragora and Che Adams secured the points for Torino. This performance follows previous losses to Roma and Frosinone, leaving the team without a point. Grosso acknowledged the difficulty of integrating new players and stated that his future at the club remains at the discretion of management. History highlights the severity of the start, as it is only the second time in the club's 100-year history that the team has lost its opening three league matches.
