Fiorentina appoint former Italy World Cup winner Fabio Grosso as their new head coach, according to multiple reports. The former Italy international and 2006 World Cup winner succeeds as coach after the club finalises the hiring process. Grosso, a former defender, is taking over the Fiorentina first-team managerial role on an announced basis, with the move confirmed by Fiorentina. Both outlets frame the appointment as an official coaching change for the Serie A club, with Grosso stepping into the managerial position following his playing career and prior involvement in football roles after retirement. The reports emphasise that Grosso’s profile includes his World Cup-winning experience with Italy and his status as a high-profile former player, which is presented as part of the rationale behind Fiorentina’s decision to bring him in. No conflicting details are highlighted across the two sources provided. The articles do not specify additional contract terms in the excerpts shared, but they consistently confirm the same appointment and role.
