Totti scored 26 goals for Roma last season but has called time on Italy
|
Italy striker Francesco Totti has retired from international duty.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Totti wanted to play part-time but the Italian soccer federation would not allow it.
The 30-year-old scored nine goals in 58 appearances for the Azzurri and last appeared for his country in last year's World Cup final against France.
Totti took a break after the World Cup to help an ankle problem to heal but has now made that decision permanent.
