Claudio Ranieri: "Totti is Totti, he is the greatest Italian player and our captain. We will keep him tight. He comes before everything." "Francesco is a real champion, a professional, a lad with a heart of gold and he is Roma's captain." "He is the best player with whom I have ever worked. He could have won several Ballons d'Or had he left Roma for Barcelona or Manchester United. I have also worked with Frank Lampard and Alessandro Del Piero, but Francesco is the better player." "He is a formidable player and I can assure you it’s not true that he destroys Coaches." "He is fantastic and to this club, he is as important as the Colosseum is to Rome."

Carlo Mazzone: "Totti? Simply fantastic. I think he is the greatest Roma player of all-time." "He is playing well and I am delighted for him. His form is no miracle. He is a serious professional and a proud guy. He always trains with enthusiasm and has great technique. He is an example for everyone" "I am privileged because I had the luck of seeing Totti’s first goal in Serie A as well as the fantastic culmination of Baggio’s career. If I had been able to coach both of them together in the same team I would have won a lot and certainly wouldn’t have lost all my hair. I’d like it a lot if we could all have dinner together and remember their goals." "We should all acknowledge the qualities of Totti, an important player in the history of Roma and Italian football."
