Fabio Grosso is the new coach of Sassuolo (@OL)
Current leader of Serie B with Sassuolo, Fabio Grosso is a priori still on good terms with OL. John Textor would indeed keep an eye on him for a possible position in the Eagle Football galaxy.
Despite the good dynamic and the desire to achieve an exploit, Fabio's Sassuolo Grosso failed to hold off AC Milan in the round of 16 of the Italian Cup on Tuesday (6-1). Beyond this harsh result, the former OL coach has clearly been maneuvering his squad perfectly since last summer.
Indeed, it occupies first place in Serie B after fifteen days (31 points, four lengths ahead of second). An expected result, since the formation of the province of Modena is, on paper, armed to aim for immediate recovery. She has so far lost only once in the championship, for ten wins and four draws.
He bounced back well after his Lyon experience
A potential sign that his adventure of a month and a half (for seven matches, including four losses) is perhaps only a mistake. Let us remember that before coming to briefly manage Olympique Lyonnais, he had won the Italian second division with Frosinone. It must also be said that his experience had above all been an extremely unfortunate episode.
During the trip to Marseille in October 2023, he came very close to tragedy following the attack on the Rhone bus by Marseille supporters. A few days later, he was fired by John Weaver and the leaders of OL. But a priori, and this is not surprising knowing the man, he does not hold this against the decision-makers. According to The Teamrelations with the Lyon president are said to be very good, the latter having told him that he would like to involve him in the Eagle Football project. But for now, Grosso is focusing on his mission, promoting Sassuolo in Serie A, and showing his qualities as a coach.
