The Italian legend, 40, has played for Roma throughout his whole career.

But it's now been revealed the striker is hanging up his boots.

Roma have recruited sporting director Monchi from Spanish side Sevilla.

And he's spilled the beans over Totti's plans to retire this summer.

“In terms of Totti, I already knew that there was an agreement with the club that this would be his final year as a player, then he’d start as a director,” Monchi said.

“Francesco is Roma, I want to be as close to him as possible.

"I’d love to learn even one per cent of the huge amount that he knows.”

Totti's last game for Roma could come in their final match of the season on May 28 when the Serie A giants are at home to Genoa.

Roma general manager Mauro Baldissoni said at the weekend the club expected Totti to call it a day.

"His contract as a footballer expires in June,: he said. "At the moment, we don't envisage seeing him on the field again, but he will be with us for many more derbies."
