Totti claims Conte and Allegri have ‘already signed for other clubs’

Roma legend Francesco Totti claims that Antonio Conte and Massimiliano Allegri have ‘already signed for other clubs’ when asked about his ideal choice for the next Giallorossi head coach once Claudio Ranieri’s tenure comes to an end.

Roma are on the hunt for a new permanent head coach to replace Ranieri, who will step away from his interim role at the end of the 2024-25 campaign. The Tinkerman will also have a say over the next permanent appointment.

A long list of names have been linked with the Giallorossi job, including Allegri, Roberto Mancini, Gian Piero Gasperini, Stefano Pioli, Patrick Vieira, Cesc Fabregas, Vincenzo Montella, Roberto De Zerbi, Francesco Farioli and Nuno Espirito Santo.

A number of them have already insisted that they are happy at their current clubs, including Fabregas and Vieira, while Ranieri has already ruled out Olimpico moves for some of the aforementioned names, including Gasperini.

Totti, meanwhile, admits that Conte and Allegri would be among his first-choice picks for Roma head coach, as he feels they are two of the best coaches around, but he claims that both have ‘already signed for different clubs’ ahead of the 2025-26 season.
