New Roma sports chief Monchi says he wants Francesco Totti to work with him.

Totti played his last game for Roma on Sunday in victory over Genoa, though has intimated he may continue next season.

"It was a really emotional night," Monchi told El Partidazo de la Cope.

“The team had a great season, they qualified for the group stage of the Champions League but yesterday a footballing gladiator in Totti left.

“I didn't cry, but I was emotional. I had a good relationship with him, he represented so much for football, not just for Roma but obviously he was an example of loyalty.

“His goodbye was emotional, everyone was crying; from his teammates, to journalists to fans. I played against Totti 22 years ago, it was a friendly and we [Sevilla] lost 1-0 and of course Totti scored.

“Now he'll have time to decide, he has an offer from the club and one from me to work by my side, because he can help me a lot.

“Now though he'll have time to decide, and it's right to wait for him."
