Sporting Director: Fiorentina Changing Coaches After Three Matches Reflects the Team's Chaos

According to Fiorentina Radio, Fiorentina sporting director Romonaco believes that Fiorentina changing coaches after three matches reflects the team's chaos.

Romonaco said: "I had expected difficulties from the beginning, because the team underwent major changes in personnel and it would take time to gel into a whole, but I did not expect the situation to develop like this. Various issues continued to accumulate, and the consequences kept appearing. Changing coaches after three rounds was one of them. The club's owners invested 90 million euros last year and another 160 million euros this year, and they have not been stingy with resources. But after two years, the results have only been a difficult fight to avoid relegation and three defeats in the first three rounds of this Serie A season."

Speaking about the decision to dismiss Grosso and bring back Vanoli, Romonaco said: "Judging from how things have developed, it is clear that this team is very chaotic. People cannot help but question whether choosing Vanoli was more about following the trend rather than being based on the actual situation at the time. In my view, this coaching change was not considered carefully enough, because its impact is already evident. The choice of coach is the most crucial factor, because you are putting a group of players in his hands. If the good players you sign cannot be molded into a team, then everything is pointless."

"Dismissing Grosso after three rounds means you admit that you made a mistake. Fiorentina signed many good players, but these players do not fit into a clear tactical system because of their individual technical characteristics. For example, midfielder Atta should play as a wide midfielder rather than an attacking midfielder, but he and Fazzini both like to control possession. Mastantuono has the same characteristic. The midfield should have been built in a more reasonable way, and assembling this team has been very difficult."
