Grosso’s incredible outburst to the Lyon players: “Have the balls to tell me to my face that it’s my fault”

Past from her bench Lyon has been for a few hours the Fabio Grosso, who was removed from the position of coach after only 73 days of presence and in total seven games to the technical leadership of “Lione”!

Sunday’s (26/11) home defeat by Rennes (0-2) for the 13th matchday of Ligue 1 was the … swan song of the Italian technician at the “helm” of the team, with the management taking the decision to finally relieved him of his duties, since it was now known in the ranks of the club that he had… missed the locker room and the players.

According to today’s report from Equipe, Grosso had one incredible outburst against his footballers after the Rennes match, opening up to them while slickly asking them to be completely honest with him!

“If you think I’m the problem, go tell Textor (the owner of Lyon) to fire me. But first you should have the balls to tell me to my face. If you ask me, you are as much a part of this bad situation as I am, but if you don’t agree, go complain to the president.” the Italian said, among other things.
