According to our information, Fiorentina management met this Sunday to take stock of the particularly worrying situation of the club and Fabio Grosso. After three days of Serie A, the Viola still has zero points on the clock and occupies last place in the championship, despite an XXL transfer window requiring more than 150 million euros of investment. The defeat conceded against Torino, after having opened the scoring, further accentuated an already very strong anger around the team and its coach. At the final whistle, the Florentine supporters booed their players and took Grosso directly to task, while several former players of the house, starting with Rolando Mandragora and Cristiano Biraghi, were warmly applauded. In this context which has become particularly explosive, the Italian technician is now in great danger. The Florentine management has yet to make a final decision, but a new meeting is scheduled at the start of the week to re-discuss Grosso’s future on the Viola bench.
The situation is all the more delicate as the relations between Fabio Grosso and Fabio Paratici are far from idyllic. The two men would not be on the same wavelength, an element which necessarily weighs at the time when management must decide whether or not to maintain its confidence in the coach who arrived this summer to carry out an ambitious project. While the club had bet very heavily on this new cycle and offered Grosso a profoundly overhauled squad, the sporting record is now catastrophic and popular pressure continues to mount. According to our information, two profiles are already beginning to emerge in Florentine thinking in the event of a change on the bench. The first track would lead to a return of Raffaele Palladino, who knows the club environment perfectly after his time on the Fiorentina bench last season. The other option would be much more ambitious and would correspond to the temptation of Igor Tudor, an experienced coach accustomed to high pressure contexts in Serie A. Management must now decide quickly while Grosso is clearly at stake for his future in the coming days.
