Fabio Capello: "Only Gigi Riva could kick the ball like him in Italy. But only with his left foot. Totti can use both feet and can hit the ball in several ways. Such champions can shoot ten times per match and eight of them are aimed on target, while five are very dangerous and can turn into a goal. Totti's shooting qualities are unique and they will stay intact for life."

Marcello Lippi: "Totti is the monument of Italian football." "It is clear that Totti is one of the few players who doesn’t have a substitute because there is nobody around who plays like him." "There are no alternatives for Totti in Italy." "No one else could play Totti's position." "Totti has always been an amazing guy, humble both in dealing with the Coaches and teammates. He was impressed me by the determination that was put in every day." "He's a great man and a great player."

Zdeněk Zeman: "Who are the best five Italian players? Totti, Totti, Totti, Totti, Totti." "Francesco is eclectic and can play wherever. He has carried Roma on his back for 15 years." "He is the only champion of Italian football." "Totti is the best player I ever worked with. He had talent and showed it off. He changed role, becoming a centre-forward and therefore more susceptible to getting fouled, so the two major injuries have taken their toll." "I'm even more convinced now that Totti is one of the greatest players of all time."

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."

Dino Zoff: "Totti was without doubt Baggio’s heir. Even then I knew that he had the qualities to be so and his career and his numbers confirm it." "Totti has enormous technical and tactical qualities."

Arsene Wenger: "Totti is a top, top class player. He is typical of the Roman game and I’m sure he will never move outside of Roma. He used to play in behind the strikers and then one day they had no central striker so they played him up front and won game after game. He suddenly became the topscorer in Italy as a central striker. That means this guy has absolutely everything. He has a fantastic protection of the ball, he has a quick turn and then he has a very good pass in the final third of the pitch. He can be deadly with every single pass. He will certainly be the most dangerous provider in the final third for them in this game. He is not the only player who can be dangerous but he can open the defence with any pass at any moment of the day if you give him the freedom."
