Fiorentina fires Fabio Grosso following three consecutive Serie A defeats

Fiorentina dismissed coach Fabio Grosso on September 10 after the team opened the Serie A season with three straight losses. The decision followed a tenure marked by tension between the manager and sporting director Fabio Paratici regarding roster construction and recruitment timelines. Grosso reportedly declared the squad uncoachable during a final phone call with club management and threatened to stop reporting for work. The club is now considering legal action against Grosso for failure to perform contractual duties. This firing marks the tenth permanent coaching change since the seven-year regime of Rocco Commisso began, highlighting continued organizational volatility at the club.
