Fiorentina are reportedly considering legal action against former head coach Fabio Grosso following his dismissal after a difficult start to the Serie A season. Grosso was sacked after the team suffered defeats in each of their opening three matches, with Paolo Vanoli appointed as his replacement.

The club’s legal team is now examining whether there are grounds for disciplinary measures that could allow Fiorentina to terminate Grosso’s contract without being required to pay the remainder of his salary. The situation has created another layer of uncertainty around the club, which is already dealing with pressure following its poor results on the pitch.

Fiorentina are reportedly looking into Grosso’s disagreements with sporting director Fabio Paratici over the club’s transfer strategy. The coach allegedly expressed doubts about his ability to continue working under those circumstances and was even reported to have considered staying away from the Viola Park training centre. However, he did not formally submit his resignation, leaving the club to explore other legal avenues.

Vanoli now returns to the Fiorentina dugout after previously helping the club avoid a serious relegation battle last season. While the new coach focuses on improving results, Fiorentina must simultaneously deal with the complicated dispute involving Grosso. The outcome could determine whether the club remains responsible for his remaining wages or succeeds in ending the financial obligation.
