  • Fiorentina dismissed Fabio Grosso after the team lost its first three Serie A matches.

  • Fiorentina has not yet announced Grosso’s replacement.

Fiorentina dismissed Fabio Grosso on Sunday after the coach opened the Serie A season with three consecutive defeats.

Grosso, Italy’s 2006 World Cup winner, took charge after Paolo Vanoli left the club. Vanoli had secured Fiorentina’s survival after taking over midway through the previous season.

Grosso’s team earned no points in its first three league games. Fiorentina lost 4-0 to Roma at the Olympic Stadium, then fell 3-0 at home to newly promoted Frosinone during the club’s centenary celebrations. The crisis deepened on Saturday when Torino won 2-1 at the Artemio Franchi.

Fiorentina finished the opening three rounds with nine goals conceded and only one scored. Grosso previously coached Bari, Lyon, Frosinone and Sassuolo, after beginning his managerial career with Juventus’s youth teams. He led both Frosinone and Sassuolo to promotion to Serie A.

The club has not yet said who will take over.
