With a hug, Totti and Spalletti put six years of rivalry behind them
Luciano Spalletti and Francesco Totti decided to bury the hatchet and put aside the rivalry that had characterized them for years, with the two men embracing outside a hospital in Rome.
Francesco Totti and Luciano Spalletti had a friendly partnership during the Tuscan coach’s first spell at Roma (2005–2009), but the same was not the case during Spalletti’s second spell at the club in 2016–17, as the captain’s playing time was reduced to one big gap between them and a feud that lasted for years.
Six years in a row to be exact, but in recent months the Italian national team coach has extended the hand of friendship to put the famous rivalry aside and the Giallorossi’s legendary leader was happy to answer his request.
This was evident on Thursday evening (November 16th) when the two men met as part of their visit to a children’s hospital in the Italian capital (Bambino Gesù) and finally buried the hatchet with a warm hug.
“As someone said, things should be done for others and not for us, and since many people were happy with this reconciliation, it was nice to do it in front of the children.
We never really fought, we always respected each other. At a time like this, when adults often argue, this hug in front of the children can be a message for a better future. Spalletti said on camera.
“The hug is secondary, it was a special day for the boys. We didn’t say anything specific to each other, a look, a hug was enough. I’ve always said our relationship goes beyond football.” Totti commented characteristically.

AC Milan have had a poor start to the season in Italy and Europe and Stefano Pioli is counting down to the exit as the Rossoneri management already has a list of potential successors ready at the end of the season.
We have reached the end of November and AC Milan seem to have lost their way and are traveling without a compass. The AC Milan team is already -6 -6 behind leaders and compatriots Inter Milan in the Serie A table and is threatening to leave Europe in December.
All this, combined with the not so good relationships that Stefano Pioli seems to have with the team’s heavyweights and the fact that the team is not living up to the expectations of its fans, has created a bad atmosphere towards Milanello and whoever will be “Paying the marbles” is the trainer.
At the start of the season everyone assumed the divorce would come at the end of the season if the Rossoneri remained trophyless, but now Pioli’s departure looks like a one-way street after the Devils suffered 15 defeats in 2023, according to the club’s managers are already looking for his ideal replacement.
As far as the names are concerned, these are enough, because “Sportmediaset” names the strongest candidates in its publication on Wednesday (November 29th). Of course, the name Antonio Conte stands out, because the Italian has been unemployed for a long time and many believe that, after Juventus, Inter Milan and the Italian national team, he has yet to take on another big challenge in his career: taking over the Milan reins.
As well as Conte, the Rossoneri are also interested in Vincenzo Italiano and Roberto De Gerbi, who impressed at Fiorentina and Brighton respectively, but both cases will be difficult as their clubs need money to give the green light for their release.
The same media emphasizes that in addition to the aforementioned trio, there are three other coaches who are at the top of the list, even if they have fewer chances. We are talking about Thiago Motta from Bologna, Raffaele Palladino from Monza and Francesco Farioli from Nice, with the medium explaining that the ideal for the Milanese is to hand over the management of the team to an Italian, young and aspiring coach.
It should be noted that after the home defeat (1:3) against Dortmund, which almost eliminated Milan from the knockout games of the Champions League, the name of Andrei Shevchenko was retained as an official until the end of the season The profile heard that the Ukrainian is not able to fully convince the government and Stefanos Pioli to stay in his office. Until further notice.
