He will succeed Laurent Blanc on the Lions' bench, with whom Lyon recently broke up.

During his coaching career, Grosso led Bari, Verona, Brescia, Sion, while his last job was in Frosinone - he introduced the club from the Lazio region to Serie A a few months ago, but did not renew his contract after that.

As a player, he wore the jersey of Lyon for two years, and in 2008, with this club, he won the double crown in France.
