Il Capitano Calls Time On Playing Career
View attachment 334658
It's a cold day for the capitals football supporters as Francesco Totti has today announced that he has kicked his last football for AS Roma. The player had been a servent of the Serie A club since 1989, progressing through the youth system to become a legend of the senior team. In an era where we are used to footballers flaunting themselves on the transfer market, Totti defied the norm and remained ever faithful to his beloved AS Roma throughout his career. Leaving his hotel this morning Totti briefly explained his reasons for retiring from the game,"Although I have been able to remain consistent in my play over the last couple of years, playing football has not given me the same joy recently as it did when I was more physically able."
A Press Conference has been announced for this afternoon, which is expected to be a celebration of the career of Romas greatest ever player.
Excerpt from Press Conference
Interviewer: Francesco, what is your fondest memory from your incredible career at AS Roma?
Totti: I know it's an obvious one, but winning the Scudetto in one of the greatest sides the world has seen over the last 20 years was an amazing experience. It was not only becoming a champion, but also the incredible team I got to play in. With the likes of Zanetti, Tomassi, Emerson and Aldair dealing with the oppositions attacks, it left me free to supply 2 of the greatest strikers in the history of Serie A; Montella and Batistuta and to find positions for myself to score. Add to that the legendary Cafu marauding up and down the right with Candella doing likewise on the left and you can only imagine how much fun it was to play in that team. That kind of environment is one which all footballers should be able to experience and to have been able to experience it myself was a great honour. We have had great times since then too, but that team is the one I am always thinking back on.
Interviewer:What lies ahead for you now as you hang up those mythical boots?
Totti: For now I guess I will just have to wait and see. I have many objectives and goals in life and maybe one day I will return here to help my beloved Roma in some way.
Legend Reincarnate!

Francesco Totti, days after retiring from his position as a player of AS Roma, has today come back to the club as manager for the forthcoming season. Speaking at a brief press conference this morning the Roma legend admitted that it "had been hard to keep the situation from spilling out into public knowledge". Totti divulged that his ambition for the future, is to build a team over the coming years which might be fit to be talked about in the same breath as the classic team that he himself was involved in.
