[Saba Sports News] According to Italian media reports, with Claudio Ranieri’s departure from Roma, Francesco Totti is poised to return to the club in an official capacity. In early March, an in-depth technical dinner was held at a restaurant in the heart of the capital, where the Giallorossi icon struck a special rapport with Gian Piero Gasperini. At the end of the gathering, the Roma head coach spoke highly of the former No.10, describing him as “a highly capable figure” and “a huge resource” for the club, adding that “I have some ideas about what role to assign him”. Time will tell what specific responsibilities Roma plan to grant the 2001 Serie A winner and 2006 World Cup champion as they look to bring him back into the club’s future project as soon as possible. What is certain is that Totti’s new chapter at Roma is likely to begin as a club ambassador and spokesperson for the upcoming centenary celebrations and the Pietralata stadium project.
The editor believes that this role will allow the former No.10 to continue his existing endorsement work as a brand ambassador for other brands. Moving forward, a more behind-the-scenes and substantive position may be offered in due course, making him a candidate for the senior advisor role previously held by Claudio Ranieri.
