FABIO GROSSO has been sacked as manager of Lyon, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The Italy legend, who won the World Cup with the Azzuri in 2006, endured a torrid time in charge of the French giants.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

After taking over from Laurent Blanc in September, the Italian managed just one win from seven league games in charge.<\/p>\n

He had been managing recent games with a visibly bruised and stitched face following an attack on the Lyon team bus by Marseille fans in October.<\/p>\n

The Italian was lucky not to lose his eyesight after suffering a huge gash above his eye when stones thrown by hooligans shattered the team bus' windows prior to the match.<\/p>\n

After returning from his injuries, Grosso recorded his first win as Lyon coach in a 1-0 victory over Rennes prior to the international break.<\/p>\n

But a 2-0 defeat to Lille this weekend was judged to be the final straw by the Lyon board.<\/p>\n

L'Equipe report that he was dismissed by American owner John Textor following a meeting this morning.<\/p>\n

Despite receiving Textor's public backing last week, Grosso's position in the Lyon dressing room was reportedly weakened by his treatment of senior stars Alexandre Lacazette and Ryan Cherki.<\/p>\n

The seven-time French champions are currently rooted to the bottom of Ligue 1 and are five points off safety.<\/p>\n

Pierre Sage will take interim charge of the club this weekend.<\/p>\n

Current favourites to take over from Grosso on a permanent basis are former Marseille coaches Jorge Sampaoli and Igor Tudor as well as former Lyon coach Bruno Genesio.<\/p>\n

Lyon travel to Lens this week as they look to get some crucial points on the board in their battle to stay up this season.<\/p>\n
