Coach Luciano Spalletti did not call up captain Francesco Totti for Roma-Palermo, confirming a rift.
The Bimbo de Oro had previously vented his disappointment for not getting any playing time in spite of being fit, and is expecting a meeting with President James Pallotta to discuss the renewal of his contract, which expires this summer.

The Bimbo de Oro had previously vented his disappointment for not getting any playing time in spite of being fit, and is expecting a meeting with President James Pallotta to discuss the renewal of his contract, which expires this summer.
If the move was meant to earn him more playing time, then it had the opposite result, as Spalletti did not include Totti in the list of players called up for Roma-Palermo.
It seems the rift between the Coach and the player has now widened, and it looks increasingly likely the 39-year-old will retire this summer.
