Description

Fabio Grosso Ufficiale OMRI (born 28 November 1977) is an Italian professional football manager and former player. He last served as the head coach of Serie A club Fiorentina.

After playing for several smaller Italian clubs, such as Renato Curi, Chieti and Perugia, he made his breakthrough during his two seasons as a left-back with Palermo, which earned him a move to defending Serie A champions Inter Milan in 2006. During his only season with Inter, he helped the club defend the Serie A title and win the Supercoppa Italiana. He later also won titles with Lyon in France and with Juventus. Grosso retired in 2012 after winning the Scudetto with Juventus.

At international level, Grosso made 48 appearances for Italy and scored the decisive late first goal against Germany in the 2006 World Cup semi-final. In the 95th minute of the match vs Australia, he cut inside past Lucas Neill, who slid to block and mistimed his tackle, bringing Grosso down. Totti then scored the resultant winning penalty.

He also scored the winning penalty in the penalty shootout against France in the final of the tournament which enabled the Azzurri to win the trophy for the fourth time in their history. He also represented Italy at UEFA Euro 2008 and at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup.
