  "account": "Fiorentina have rehired Paolo Vanoli as head coach after sacking his replacement, Fabio Grosso, who was dismissed following three consecutive losses. The Italian club, who finished last in Serie A last season, announced the decision on Monday. Vanoli, previously the third coach of the season in November, guided the team to safety last November when they were at the bottom of the table.\n\nInitially, Vanoli was set to have his contract extended by one more season before Grosso took over from Sassuolo. The club expressed gratitude to Vanoli for accepting the opportunity to return to the team. Despite spending significantly in the summer transfer window, Fiorentina has only managed to score one goal in their opening three league matches this season.",
  "summary": "Winless and bottom of Serie A, Fiorentina have scored just once in three games after a heavier-than-usual summer spend.",
