Italy's World Cup Winner Grosso Appointed Fiorentina Coach
Fiorentina expect Fabio Grosso to steady the club after it finished 15th last season and flirted with relegation, president Giuseppe Commisso said.
- On Monday, Serie A club Fiorentina appointed former Italy international Fabio Grosso as head coach on a two-year contract. Club president Giuseppe Commisso stated Grosso has the "personality, the method, and the enthusiasm" to build a stronger team.
- Grosso resigned as coach of Sassuolo last week after guiding them to an 11th place finish in Serie A this season. He had been in charge since July 2024, leading the club to promotion from the Italian second division.
- Formerly a defender with Palermo, Inter Milan, and Juventus, the 48-year-old helped Italy win the 2006 World Cup. His only previous top-club experience with French outfit Lyon lasted three months, ending after seven matches.
- Fiorentina finished 15th last season after flirting with relegation under Stefano Pioli and then Paolo Vanoli. Management aims to "open a new chapter" following this difficult campaign.
- This appointment comes amid a broad coaching shake-up across Serie A. Bologna, Napoli, Milan, and Lazio have also changed or are preparing to change their head coaches this summer.
