  "account": "Fiorentina, currently winless and sitting at the bottom of Serie A, have brought back Paolo Vanoli as their new head coach, replacing Fabio Grosso who was recently sacked. Grosso had lost his first three matches before being let go. In a club statement, Fiorentina announced that Paolo Vanoli had been appointed as head coach of the first team.\n\nVanoli, who previously managed Venezia and Torino, took over as Fiorentina's third coach of the season in November last year. He guided the team to safety despite being bottom of the table. Initially, Vanoli was set to have his contract extended by one season. However, Fiorentina's board opted for a change in management in June, handing the team over to former World Cup winner Grosso, who was previously in charge at Sassuolo.\n\nFiorentina, marking their centenary this year, have been rather generous with their summer spending. However, their season has started off dismally, as they have only managed to score one goal in their first three league games.",
