Fiorentina manager Fabio Grosso acknowledged the precarious nature of his position following the club’s third consecutive Serie A defeat. After losing 2-1 to Torino at home, Grosso remained composed when discussing potential consequences, stating that any decisions regarding his future rest with the club’s hierarchy and that he remains ready to accept their verdict.
The Florence-based side has endured a catastrophic start to the season, suffering heavy losses to Roma and Frosinone before Saturday’s match. Despite taking the lead through Mateo Pellegrino’s long-range effort, Fiorentina capitulated as Torino scored twice through former midfielder Rolando Mandragora and Che Adams to secure their first points of the campaign.
Grosso expressed frustration with the team’s performance, noting that his side squandered opportunities and lost composure after conceding. He acknowledged the fans’ disappointment, recognizing that supporters deserve better results. The manager emphasized that integrating numerous summer signings into a cohesive unit requires time, particularly when players join days before matches, but admitted the team must improve rapidly.
The defeat marks a historic low for the club, with this being only the second instance in Fiorentina’s century-long history that they have lost their opening three league fixtures, the previous occurrence dating back to 1935-36.
