The Latest AS Roma News
Former Roma striker Antonio Cassano has revealed that he would like to see his old teammate Francesco Totti as the club's president.
Cassano enjoyed four-and-a-half successful years at Roma in the early 2000s, but left in acrimonious circumstances for Real Madrid in 2006. It was a move he came to regret, admitting that he would walk all the way back from Madrid to have the chance to play for La Magica again, while fans were left wondering what might have been had he stayed. Now, in an interview with Sky Sport 24, the 36-year-old has revealed his thoughts on how his former strike partner Totti would thrive in a more prominent role with the club, while also suggesting a surprise name for Roma's next coach. "[Claudio Ranieri] is a great person, I don't know if he can start a new cycle. I would like to see someone with the personality of [Roberto] Donadoni on Roma's bench. "I would like to see Totti as President, he represents Roma. He is an intelligent and balanced person. Joined by someone who can advise him on signings, he can make a great career. Roma is Totti, not [James] Pallotta or [Franco] Baldini from London." Cassano also suggested that current Roma captain Daniele De Rossi, a player he also used to share the pitch with, will go into coaching beyond his retirement.
