Totti admits Roma coaching ambitions

Francesco Totti admits he has ambitions of coaching AS Roma.

The 38-year-old this week picked up the Giacinto Facchetti award at the Gazzetta dello Sport's annual awards.

"I would like to become Roma's Coach, of course," Totti said.

"You know that just a few days ago I was talking with a friend and told them: '[The ex-players] are doing it all. I think that eventually, [coaching] will also appeal to me'.

"Maybe I'll start with the kids, although perhaps there is no need at the moment. After all, it doesn't take players of my ilk long to learn.

"I'd only [play my son Cristian] if he deserved it. It would lead me to some discomfort for sure, but I would never have any problems with Cristian. He's a good boy."
