Totti edges closer to agreeing over Roma executive role | OneFootball

Roma and Totti have never been closer.

Contacts between the club and its icon have intensified in recent weeks.

As Corriere dello Sport reports, Totti has never been closer to returning to Roma.

Not as technical director, but in a role that, starting from the centenary, will be contractually similar to that of Ranieri.

This means there will be no problems between Totti’s private sponsors and those of Roma.

Weeks of meetings between the management and Francesco have built a solid foundation, common ground that is unlikely to be abandoned in the final stretch.

There’s great anticipation for Totti’s return as a spokesperson, and not just in Italy. His mere presence could open up dozens of opportunities abroad, too. Spreading the Totti brand along with the Roma brand is a huge opportunity.

Barring any last-minute surprises, it will be Totti’s return to Roma as a director. The former captain already served in that role for two years, from 2017 to 2019, before leaving due to disagreements with Pallotta’s then-ownership.
