Francesco Totti’s return to Roma is no longer a romantic dream, but a strategic objective for the Friedkin ownership.
Unlike in the past, the club is working to define a clear framework, away from the representative roles that previously led to a split.
The goal is to integrate someone familiar with the dynamics of Trigoria and capable of managing the pressure of a complex club.
The project, overseen by Claudio Ranieri in his role as Senior Advisor, aims to bridge the gap in the relationship between the team and management.
Ranieri’s guidance is crucial to ensuring that Totti’s arrival is harmonious with the current coaching structure, acting as an institutional and sporting guarantor.
The position being considered for the former number ten is that of technical director.
It would be an operational role, designed to act as a bridge between the coach, the sporting director, and the club’s top management.
Roma has accelerated its contacts, inviting Totti two weeks ago for the Europa League match against Stuttgart, only after finalizing a precise organizational chart – writes La Gazzetta dello Sport – a necessary move to avoid repeating the communication and decision-making ambiguities of the Pallotta era.
