Francesco Totti's wife has said the Roma captain is now ready to retire.

Former Italy international Totti, 39, made his Roma debut in 1993 and has spent his entire career with his hometown club.

Totti, who helped Roma to success in Serie A in 2000-01 as well as winning the Coppa Italia in 2007 and 2008, had reassured club president James Pallotta in December that he was ready to "continue playing as long as his body would cope."
