Francesco Totti seemingly called time on his storied playing career, revealing he will become a Roma director soon.
Totti left boyhood club Roma at the end of last season – ending his 25-year association with the Serie A side's first team.
The 40-year-old forward has been linked with Tokyo Verdy in Japan's second division, however, the Roma great appears set for a return to the Italian capital.
"I haven't signed anything yet, I'm not yet a Roma executive but I'll soon become one," Totti told Premium Sport after meeting with president James Pallotta.
New Roma head coach Eusebio Di Francesco – who replaced Luciano Spalletti – was also asked about Totti's future on Thursday.
"Totti's meeting with Pallotta? I don't know what was said," Di Francesco said.
"I hope Francesco remains close to us with a defined role. Roma and Totti are often talked about, but it's wrong: Totti is Roma and Roma is Totti."
