Fabio Grosso, Italian legend, fired a month after being attacked by thugs and just 7 games into role as crisis-hit Lyon manager

The reign of Fabio Grosso as manager of Lyon has come to an end, according to recent reports. The Italian World Cup winner had a tough time in charge of the French giants, facing not only poor results but also a horrific attack on the team bus by Marseille fans. After managing just one win from seven league games and suffering from injuries sustained during the attack, Grosso has been sacked by Lyon. The club is currently facing a difficult position in Ligue 1, and an interim manager has been appointed while potential replacements for Grosso are being considered. Lyon’s upcoming match against Lens will be crucial as they fight to stay in the top division.

In a shocking turn of events, Fabio Grosso has been sacked as the manager of Lyon, according to reports. The Italian legend, who led his country to World Cup glory in 2006, struggled to turn things around for the French giants during his time in charge. Grosso’s tenure was marred by a horrific incident in which he suffered injuries on Lyon’s team bus due to an attack by Marseille fans. Despite recording his first win as Lyon coach prior to the international break, a 2-0 defeat to Lille was the final straw for the Lyon board. American owner John Textor reportedly dismissed Grosso following a meeting, and the club has appointed Pierre Sage as interim manager. Lyon’s current position at the bottom of Ligue 1 has prompted speculation about potential permanent replacements for Grosso, with former Marseille coaches Jorge Sampaoli and Igor Tudor, as well as former Lyon coach Bruno Genesio, being named as favorites. Lyon will be looking to turn their fortunes around as they face Lens in their upcoming match.
