Fiorentina fires Fabio Grosso following three straight Serie A losses

Summary

Fiorentina has dismissed manager Fabio Grosso after the team started the Serie A season with three consecutive losses.

These results leave the team at the bottom of the league table alongside Venezia and Genoa, who also hold zero points. Before the start of league play, Grosso led the squad to a 4-1 victory over Benevento in the Coppa Italia. The club has reached an agreement to appoint Paolo Vanoli as the new manager.
