Sept 6 (Reuters) - Fiorentina ⁠sacked manager Fabio Grosso on Sunday ⁠after three successive defeats at the ‌start of the season left them bottom of Serie A, the Italian club said in a statement.

Fiorentina ​lost 4-0 at AS Roma ⁠and 3-0 at ⁠home to promoted Frosinone before Saturday’s 2-1 home ⁠defeat ‌by Torino, leaving them with one goal scored and nine conceded. ⁠They visit Venezia on Friday.

The 48-year-old ​former Italy ‌defender had been in charge for less ⁠than three ​months, having replaced Paolo Vanoli on June 8 and signed a two-year contract.

Vanoli had ⁠guided Fiorentina to a 15th-place ​finish last season after taking over from Stefano Pioli, who was sacked following a 10-game ⁠winless start.

Grosso, who scored the winning penalty against France in the 2006 World Cup final, joined Fiorentina after winning promotion with ​Sassuolo in his first ⁠season and guiding them to mid-table in ​Serie A. He had ‌previously managed Bari, Hellas Verona, ​Brescia, Sion, Frosinone and Olympique Lyonnais.
