🤔 Roma consider bringing Totti back to the club at Ranieri’s request | OneFootball

“They are considering it, and I hope that Francesco will truly be useful for Roma, because he is part of it.” The main advisor of Roma, Claudio Ranieri, revealed in an interview with Sky Sport who could be the club’s next big signing: the legendary former captain Francesco Totti.

Talks have already taken place between the parties, and an agreement for Totti’s return to the club could soon be finalized. Totti was Roma’s director during the Pallotta era. After retiring in 2017, the club initially appointed him as technical director, and later gave him a broader role as coach and club advisor, working directly with the American management.

However, his time at the club was brief. In June 2019, Totti officially resigned, explaining at a press conference that he had never been actively involved in technical and strategic decisions. He stated, in fact, that he had been “marginalized” and lacked operational power. Since then, he has not held any executive position at Roma, dedicating himself to business activities (his scouting and management agency CT10) and serving as an ambassador.

Since Ranieri’s return to Roma, many decisions have been made, and it seems they have been good ones. He appointed Gasperini as coach, signed a sporting director like Frederic Massara who worked with Paolo Maldini at Milan, has been guiding the signings, and now wants Totti to return.

Will the legend accept?
