Fiorentina dismisses coach Fabio Grosso after three league matches

Summary

Fiorentina sporting director Fabio Paratici confirmed the club parted ways with head coach Fabio Grosso following a winless three-game start to the 2026-27 Serie A season. The team sits at the bottom of the league standings with a goal difference of -8. Paratici stated the decision stemmed from a lack of confidence shown by Grosso in both the players and the club's project.

The team is currently in action against Venezia.
