Fabio Grosso's time at Fiorentina lasted only a few months. The Serie A club dismissed its head coach late on Sunday night after a disastrous start to the season.

Fiorentina have lost all three of their league matches. They have scored only once while conceding nine goals, prompting the Florence club to act quickly.

Grosso, 48, took charge in June. Fiorentina have not yet announced who will replace him.

The former defender played most of his career in Italy. He won the Italian title with Inter in 2007 and Juventus in 2012, and made 48 appearances for the national team. Grosso also helped Italy win the 2006 World Cup.

He began his coaching career with Juventus' under-19 team in 2014.
