Totti takes over as Roma director

Francesco Totti confirmed his retirement on Monday, the Roma legend announcing "a new adventure" in his storied career as he takes up a directorship role at the Italian League club. The 40 year old played his final game for Roma in May after 24 years with the capital-city side. Totti played 786 matches for Roma in total after joining as a schoolboy in 1989, scoring a club-record 307 goals, and won the 2006 World Cup with Italy.
