Fiorentina rehire Vanoli after sacking his replacement Grosso
Winless and bottom of Serie A, Fiorentina have scored just once in three games after a heavier-than-usual summer spend.
Last season, Paolo Vanoli led Fiorentina to a Serie A survival, but the club board subsequently appointed former World Cup winner Fabio Grosso as head coach. The Italian team, currently winless and sitting at the bottom of the table, has re-engaged Vanoli to replace Grosso following his dismissal after losing their opening three matches.
Vanoli, who has also managed Venezia and Torino, assumed the role as Fiorentina's third coach of the season in November last year, when the club found itself at the bottom of Serie A. Initially, he was expected to sign a one-year contract extension. However, in June, the board opted to hand the reins to Grosso, who had been steering Sassuolo at the time.
The club expressed gratitude towards Vanoli for his enthusiasm in promptly accepting the opportunity to manage the team again. Despite celebrating their centenary this year, Fiorentina has expended more resources during the summer transfer window than usual. However, their season has started off poorly, with the team scoring just one goal in their last three league games.
