Francesco Totti launched a scathing attack on the Roma hierarchy as he confirmed he has left his post as a club director, ending a 30-year association with the Serie A outfit.
Totti joined the Roma board after retiring as a player in 2017, but differences between the former attacker and the club's board are said to have resulted in him leaving.
Tensions are said to have become particularly strained between Totti and club owner Jim Pallotta since March, when Monchi quit as sporting director and coach Eusebio Di Francesco was sacked.
