Fiorentina plans legal action to terminate Fabio Grosso contract

Summary

Fiorentina is pursuing potential legal action against former head coach Fabio Grosso following his dismissal late Sunday. The club aims to prove just cause for the firing to avoid paying the remainder of his salary. Grosso was sacked after the team lost its opening three Serie A matches of the season. Reports suggest the club plans to present evidence that the coach informed director Fabio Paratici he was unable to continue in his role due to disagreements over transfer strategy. Despite these alleged statements and rumors of him threatening to skip work, Grosso did not submit a formal resignation. Paolo Vanoli has been appointed as his replacement.
