AS Roma legend Francesco Totti
showed up dressed in plain clothes at the team's training
ground, Trigoria, on his first day as a team director on
Tuesday.
The team, now under the coaching of Eusebio Di Francesco,
brought former Spanish footballer Monchi on as sporting director
in April.
"It's a bit strange to have him at my side and not see him
dressed as a player, but at the same time it's nice because it
makes me realize that soon I'll be working beside him," Monchi
said at a press conference to present new French forward
Gregoire Defrel, who was signed over the summer.
"Francesco wanted to know a bit how the group was doing, see
the new players and training; he seems really comfortable in his
new role," Monchi said.
Monchi and Totti attended Tuesday's training session together
with general manager Mauro Baldissoni.
The team travels to Spain on Wednesday for a friendly match
on Thursday against Sevilla.
