The game of musical chairs from the Serie A benches continues to accelerate, and it is now up to Fiorentina to launch a new cycle with the arrival of Fabio Grosso. The former 2006 world champion, who went through different experiences on the Italian benches, is preparing to sign a two-year contract with the Viola. A choice which marks a desire for reconstruction and stability after an overall disappointing season, marked by irregular results and a lack of continuity in the game. A hard blow for Sassuolo who loses a tactician who had managed to develop a good project by deploying a good game this season.

For Fiorentina, this appointment is part of a context of sporting transition where the playing identity remains to be redefined, particularly after a checkered season in Serie A and on the European scene. Grosso will have to quickly impose his mark and structure a competitive collective, capable of regaining European places. At the same time, the coaching market is stirring strongly: Napoli with Vincenzo Italiano approaching, Atalanta who have locked Maurizio Sarri, Lazio who have also set their sights on Gennaro Gattuso, while AC Milan sees Andoni Iraola getting ahead. In this tumult, Massimiliano Allegri and Raffaele Palladino remain in ambush, ready to bounce back at the slightest call, confirming that Serie A is entering a new phase of major restructuring.
