Called up in September 2023 to try to restore some colour to an Olympique Lyonnais team that was stagnating in last place in the Ligue 1 standings, Fabio Grosso’s return to the Rhône and Saône was not a long, quiet river. Between the results recorded well below expectations (4 defeats, 2 draws and 1 win in 7 matches) and his eye injury following the stoning of the OL bus in Marseille, the Italian technician had a very complicated experience on the Rhône bench before being dismissed from his post only two and a half months after his arrival.
Nevertheless, the former Italian international, who has been working at Sassuolo since last March, does not have bad memories of it. On the contrary, he believes that this stint at Lyon has strengthened him for the rest of his career as a coach.Lyon is a wonderful place, I went there as a player (from 2007 to 2009). It went badly as a coach, but this experience formed me” he said in an interview with the Sports Gazette.
