According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, after only three rounds of the new Serie A season, Fiorentina is already in a serious crisis. The team suffered three consecutive defeats at the start of the season , losing to Roma, Frosinone, and Torino respectively, conceding a total of 9 goals in three rounds, and scoring only 1 goal. Both offense and defense have completely collapsed. Although home fans shouted for a coaching change in the stands, the club currently has no plans to dismiss coach Grosso , and Grosso himself has also clearly stated that he will not resign voluntarily.

Team's predicament: Deep in the relegation zone for two consecutive seasons

This season's terrible start is no accident. The Viola struggled last season and only narrowly avoided relegation in the penultimate round of the league. The team harbors ambitious goals before each season, but repeatedly finds itself in the lower reaches of the standings, causing strong dissatisfaction among fans due to the huge gap between expectations and reality. After losing to Torino in this round, the players specifically went to the stands to apologize to the fans. The most moderate slogan from the fans was "We deserve more," while other cheers demanded the team show courage and fighting spirit. The entire team is under immense public pressure.

Club's attitude: Postpone coaching change, provide a window of trust

Despite public outcry and strong fan protests, the club's management remained calm and did not rush to make a coaching change decision. Sporting Director Paratici, who personally appointed Grosso, has not publicly voiced support or defense, and the club has sent a clear internal signal: it will not hastily change coaches and chooses to continue giving Grosso time to correct mistakes . The management and team staff are all regretful about the current situation, but believe that blindly changing coaches and making hasty decisions at this stage will only exacerbate the crisis. The only way out now is to prepare with all their might and strive for victory.

Countdown to destiny: Three decisive battles to determine coaching position, international break becomes the final deadline

Grosso's coaching position is not absolutely safe. The club has set a clear final self-rescue window for him. Due to the team's dense schedule, with a match every three days, there will be no management changes in the short term. The final fate of the coaching position will be decided during the international break.

Before then, Grosso must lead the team through three ultimate do-or-die matches, which will directly determine whether he can remain in charge:

1. Serie A away match against Venezia

2. Coppa Italia match against Pisa (September 15)

3. Serie A home match against Napoli

After these three matches, if the team's performance still does not improve and it cannot reverse the decline, the club will officially initiate the coaching change procedure during the break. Simply put, the next three matches will determine Grosso's future .
