Mourinho could play key role in Totti’s Roma return

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Francesco Totti would consider a return to Roma given that his rapport with the Friedkin family and José Mourinho is excellent.

The former Giallorossi captain has attended many games and events at the Stadio Olimpico over the last few months, once again showing his close bond with the only club he played for in his career. Totti was appointed as one of the club chiefs during the James Pallotta era but handed his resignation in 2019.

He didn’t attend Roma games for a long time before returning to the Stadio Olimpico this season. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, his return to the club is also on the cards. Contacts between him and club directors are frequent, and Totti is on good terms with the Friedkins, Tiago Pinto and José Mourinho and would consider an offer from the Giallorossi.

The rapport with Mourinho is excellent and ‘there is strong mutual esteem’ between the coach and the former striker. Roma owners have not yet discussed Totti’s possible return to the club, but the 2006 Italy World Cup winner would be happy to begin a new chapter of his life at the club.
