Roma legend, Francesco Totti has withdrawn from a preliminary course to
get a coaching badge, due to his commitments as director at the Serie A club.
The Italian Association of Coaches (AIAC) confirmed his decision, with
his spot subsequently filled by his former Roma teammate, Simone Perrotta.
“Francesco Totti has demonstrated that he is a champion even off the
field,” read a statement from the AIAC to ANSA. “Since he was unable to attend
the course regularly, and with respect for his colleagues, teachers and the
organisers, he has withdrawn.
“We wish him all the best to become a coach in future. The president of
the Region of Lazio’s AIAC, Sergio Roticani, the course leader, Fabio Lozzi,
and the state docent for footballing technique and tactics, Biagio Savarese,
while disappointed by Totti’s decision, wish to see him back at the school desk
again in future.”
