Totti nearing highly-anticipated return to Roma | OneFootball

Francesco Totti has returned to the Olimpico, and his presence has not gone unnoticed.

The former captain attended the match against Cagliari, cementing the idea that his return to Roma management is imminent.

His presence, greeted by a roar from the fans and chants of “Un capitano” (A captain), follows Claudio Ranieri’s recent comments to Sky Sport, which fueled speculation about his future at the Trigoria club.

Roma sporting director Frederic Massara reiterated that Totti represents Roma’s history and confirmed the former player’s good relationship with the Friedkins.

The role that could be entrusted to Totti, according to today’s edition of Il Tempo, would be similar to that held by Javier Zanetti at Inter: not just a symbolic figure, but a representative with significant influence on the club’s decisions.

Sitting between his friends Scala and Candela, Totti was captured on camera as the Olimpico welcomed him with warm applause.

His potential reincarnation as a management figure appears to be drawing closer, with the club seemingly ready to bring him back to the heart of its operations.

Meanwhile, the fans are ready to welcome him back and hope to have the former number 10 among the club’s management staff as soon as possible.
