Francesco Totti, the legendary figure of AS Roma, has shocked football fans with his recent comments about a potential return to Serie A. The 48-year-old, who hung up his boots in 2017, revealed that he has received calls from various clubs, making him contemplate a comeback.
“I admit that they made me think a little, a little crazy. It would be difficult, but in life you never say never,” he said. Totti acknowledged that many players have continued their careers long after retirement, hinting that he could still have something to offer on the pitch.
The iconic No. 10 also expressed that any return would depend on rigorous training. “If I were to return to Serie A I would have to train really well,” he stated. Despite being open to the idea, Totti made it crystal clear that he would never wear the colors of Lazio, Roma’s arch-rivals.
Totti believes that his skill set could still shine in the current landscape of Serie A. “With the levelof today's Serie A I could easily have my say on the pitch,” he asserted. He maintains a base level of fitness by playing casually, and has indicated he could be match-ready in two to three months.
As he reflects on his past and future, Totti remains a beloved figure in Italian football, and his potential return would undoubtedly send waves through the football world.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou is facing mounting speculation about his future after a series of poor results, with bookmakers already listing potential replacements.
Among the frontrunners are Andoni Iraola and Thomas Frank, both of whom have impressed with their tactical approaches at Bournemouth and Brentford, respectively.
Former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has also been mentioned as a possible return candidate, given his past success at the club.
Despite the growing rumors, Postecoglou remains focused on his work, stating, “I’m not concerned about the noise; my focus is on improving this team every single day.”
However, Tottenham’s recent struggles in domestic cup competitions have only intensified the discussions surrounding his future.
While some supporters believe Postecoglou deserves more time, others argue that a managerial change is necessary to revive Tottenham’s ambitions.
Club chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly assessing all options, with an insider noting, “Levy is always keeping an eye on potential managerial changes, but he still backs Postecoglou—at least for now.”
With Tottenham currently outside the Champions League qualification spots, the pressure continues to mount, and a string of poor results could force the club’s hand.
A former Spurs player weighed in on the situation, saying, “This is a crucial period for the club. The next few matches will determine whether Postecoglou stays or if a new face steps in to take charge.”
As uncertainty looms, Tottenham fans will be eagerly watching how the club navigates this delicate situation.
