Totti takes Roma role
Francesco Totti confirmed his retirement on Monday, the Roma legend announcing "a new adventure" in his storied career as he takes up a directorship role at the Serie A club.
The 40-year-old played his final game for Roma in May after 24 years with the capital-city side, and decided to call it a day.
"The first part of my life as a football player is over and now another more important one is about to begin," Totti wrote on his Facebook page. "Until May 28 I only thought about playing football, having fun and making a significant contribution to the team. Now I move on, I'm turning over a new leaf."
The former attacking midfielder will work alongside sporting director Monchi and coach Eusebio di Francesco.
“The beginning of a new phase, a new adventure now starts... I want to be everything and nothing, I want to be an important figure for Rome and for Roma and truly understand what I'll do."
