Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Fiorentina appointed Paolo Vanoli as coach after dismissing Fabio Grosso following three consecutive Serie A defeats.
  • Grosso’s team scored once and conceded nine goals, leaving the club bottom of the standings after three matches.
  • Vanoli previously helped Fiorentina avoid relegation and guided the club to the Conference League quarter-finals.

Fiorentina have turned to a familiar solution after a nightmare start to the Serie A season, bringing back Paolo Vanoli one day after dismissing former World Cup winner Fabio Grosso.

Grosso left after three straight defeats placed Fiorentina at the bottom of the league. The team had scored only one goal and conceded nine in its opening three matches.

Vanoli returns after rescuing the club from relegation trouble last season. He replaced Stefano Pioli in November following a 10-match winless start and ultimately guided Fiorentina to 15th place. He also led the team to the Conference League quarter-finals, where eventual winners Crystal Palace eliminated them.
