When asked today if the match with Genoa on May 28 would be his last, Totti replied: “I don’t know…”
Despite that, this evening Sky Sport Italia are confident that Totti will salute the fans at the Stadio Olimpico at the end of the month and then take on a new job behind the scenes.
It’s suggested Totti was convinced to take this step by new director Monchi, as he gets along very well with the former Sevilla chief and is eager to learn the ropes from an expert.
