Fiorentina Set to Unveil New Manager
Fiorentina have finalised terms with Grosso’s representatives, securing a two-year contract valued at €1.2 million per season, along with an option for an additional year. The club had been awaiting Sassuolo’s official release of the coach before confirming the appointment.
With contractual ties now severed, sporting director Fabio Paratici is able to conclude the process swiftly, having played an important role in Grosso’s coaching career since providing his first role within the Juventus youth academy.
