Grosso in Florence! The 2006 World Champion agreed to a two-year contract with Fiorentina.
Fabio Grosso in Florence! The 2006 World Champion has agreed to a two-year contract with Fiorentina. The Florence club has completed the negotiations with the 46-year-old player. The Fiorentina management has already approved the terms of the deal, and the official signing of the documents will take place in the coming days. Fabio Grosso will replace Vincenzo Italiano as the team’s head coach. Italiano’s contract has expired by mutual agreement between the two parties. The former left-back for the Italian national team, who scored the famous penalty in the 2006 World Cup finals, has been working towards a coaching career for several years. His arrival in Florence is seen as a way to improve the team’s tactical discipline, to help young players develop their potential, and to restore high morale within the team. It is expected that Grosso’s presentation will take place at the Artemio Franchi Stadium before the start of the pre-season training sessions. Grosso has a clear goal: to bring the club back into the European competitions, to stabilize the team’s defense, and to create a competitive team for the next two seasons.
