  • Fiorentina dismissed manager Fabio Grosso after three consecutive defeats left the club bottom of Serie A.
  • The team conceded nine goals and scored once in losses to Roma, Frosinone and Torino.
  • Grosso had taken charge less than three months earlier after replacing Paolo Vanoli.

Fiorentina have dismissed Fabio Grosso after three defeats at the start of the Serie A season left the club at the bottom of the table.

The club announced the decision on Sunday, following a 2-1 home loss to Torino. Fiorentina had earlier fallen 4-0 away to AS Roma and 3-0 at home to promoted Frosinone. Across those matches, the team scored once and conceded nine goals.

Grosso had been in charge for less than three months. He replaced Paolo Vanoli on June 8 and signed a two-year contract. Vanoli had guided Fiorentina to 15th place last season after taking over from Stefano Pioli, who left following a 10-match winless start.

The 48-year-old Grosso, a former Italy defender, joined Fiorentina after leading Sassuolo to promotion in his first season and then guiding the club to a mid-table Serie A finish. He had also managed Bari, Hellas Verona, Brescia, Sion, Frosinone and Olympique Lyonnais. Fiorentina are scheduled to visit Venezia on Friday.
