He told La Nuova: "I can't say anything… Yes, I'm retiring, I've decided." 

Cristian has decided to hang up the boots due to the pressure of living up to the standards of his father.

That's according to local journalist Paolo Ardovino, who said: "His last experience was in Sardinia, a year ago with Olbia in Serie D.

"Few appearances, a lot of media pressure, and even a huge social media controversy over his questionable physical condition.

"Spoiler: it wasn't true; he's always had the normal physique of a normal footballer."

Cristian is now set to work alongside his older brother, Riccardo, as part of the Totti Soccer School in Italy.
