Height, Weight & Measurements
Francesco Totti stands tall at 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) and maintains a fit physique, weighing approximately 80 kg (176 lbs). Despite retiring from professional football in 2017, Totti remains active and health-conscious, often participating in public events and football-related activities.
On his second league appearance of the 2015–16 Serie A season, Totti scored his 300th career club goal in all competitions with Roma in a 2–2 home draw with Sassuolo, on 20 September 2015.
On 26 September 2015, the day before his 39th birthday, he sustained an injury, straining his right hip flexor in a 5–1 win over Carpi, ruling him out for three months.
He returned to the pitch as a substitute in a 1–1 home draw against Milan, on 9 January 2016, equalling Gianluca Pagliuca as the third all-time highest appearance holder in Serie A history, with 592 appearances.
Family, Dating & Relationship Status
Francesco Totti is married to Ilary Blasi, a television host and prominent media personality in Italy. The couple tied the knot in 2005 and have three children together: Cristian, Chanel, and Isabel. Totti and Blasi have been a significant presence in Italian celebrity culture, often spotted at various events and social gatherings. They have built a strong family unit, continuing to inspire many with their relationship.
He was raised in the Porta Metronia neighbourhood. As a youngster he idolised ex-Roma captain Giuseppe Giannini, and regularly played football with older boys. Totti began to play youth team football in 1984, with Fortitudo, later joining Trastevere and Lodigiani.
After he came to the attention of scouts, his mother refused a lucrative offer from Milan in order to keep him in his home town. Although his youth club initially had come to an agreement to sell Totti to the Lazio youth side, one of Roma's youth coaches, Gildo Giannini, persuaded his parents to let him join the Roma youth squad in 1989.
Net Worth and Salary
As of 2025, Francesco Totti's estimated net worth is around $100 million, attributed to his illustrious football career, endorsements, and various business ventures. While his salary as a player was substantial during his career, Totti has maintained his wealth through smart investments and brand collaboration.
Roma's new coach for the 2005–06 season, Luciano Spalletti, went with a 4–2–3–1 formation, deploying Totti in a newer, more offensive role as a lone striker.
Despite his new attacking role, Totti usually dropped deep to pick up the ball in midfield rather than operating in the penalty area, thus creating space for the attacking midfielders and wingers to making offensive runs; the resulting system was later described as a 4–6–0, while Totti's particular attacking role was dubbed the "false 9".
In this new position, Totti continued to score frequently, managing 15 goals in 24 league matches. In the spring of 2005, he renewed his contract until 2010, with an annual salary of €5.4 million.
On 19 February 2006, he suffered a fracture of his left fibula and ligament damage during a match against Empoli, after being fouled by Richard Vanigli. Totti was at risk of missing the 2006 World Cup, but returned to the side on 11 May 2006 as a substitute in Roma's 3–1 Coppa Italia final defeat to Inter.
A metal plate had been attached to his ankle during surgery, but doctors decided not to operate again and remove it following Totti's return, concurring that the plate would not affect his game. He was given off-label treatments of teriparatide to speed-up his fracture recovery.
Career, Business, and Investments
Post-retirement, Totti has remained in the football scene as a sports director for AS Roma. He has embarked on several business ventures, including his clothing line and collaborations with various brands. Totti is also known to have made investments in real estate, further contributing to his financial portfolio. His keen understanding of the sport has allowed him to transition seamlessly from player to executive.
Totti spent his entire career at Roma, winning a Serie A title, two Coppa Italia titles, and two Supercoppa Italiana titles. A prolific goalscorer, he is the second-highest scorer of all time in Italian league history with 250 goals, and is the sixth-highest scoring Italian in all competitions with 316 goals.
Totti is the top goalscorer and the most capped player in Roma's history, holds the record for the most goals scored in Serie A while playing for a single club, and also holds the record for the youngest club captain in the history of Serie A.
During his career at Roma, Totti has been referred to as Er Bimbo de Oro (The Golden Boy), Er Pupone (The Big Baby), L'Ottavo Re di Roma (The Eighth King of Rome), L'Imperatore (The Emperor) and Il Capitano (The Captain) by the Italian sports media. In 2013, the New York Times described him as a "Roman god in his game."
Social Network
Francesco Totti is active on various social media platforms, where he connects with his fans and shares insights about his life after football. He has a significant following on Instagram and Twitter, where he often posts about his family, travels, and football experiences. Totti uses his platforms not only for personal engagement but also to promote charitable causes and initiatives.
In mid-December, as Totti began regaining form post-injury, he started playing more regularly, often in a creative role as an attacking midfielder. On 12 December, he set up Daniele De Rossi's opening goal in a 1–1 home draw against eventual league champions Juventus, although Totti missed a second-half penalty during the match.
He provided several more assists that season, notably for Dani Osvaldo's goal in Roma's 3–1 win over Napoli at the Stadio San Paolo on 18 December 2011, and also set up De Rossi's goal against Catania at the Massimino stadium.
Playing in a deeper position on the pitch, the Roma talisman did not seek to score goals as often, opting rather to play more of a supporting role by bridging the gap between attack and midfield, using his presence, leadership and experience in games to offer some much needed depth to the team.
Education
Francesco Totti's formal education details are relatively private, as his career began at a young age. However, his experiences on the field have served as valuable lessons in leadership, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Totti's dedication to self-improvement is evident in his post-playing career pursuits, including learning about sports management and business.
Though Italy lost to reigning World Cup Champions France 2–1 in extra time in the final, he started the play which led to Marco Delvecchio's opening goal; Totti sent an unmarked Gianluca Pessotto down the right wing with a back-heel pass, allowing him space to cross the ball into the area, where it was put into the net by Delvecchio.
Later, during the second half of the match, Totti provided two scoring opportunities for Alessandro Del Piero, which the Juventus forward was unable to convert.
Some UEFA sources credit Totti as the man of the match for the Euro 2000 final, due to his performance; however, UEFA's Technical Study Group named French forward Thierry Henry as the award winner. Totti was selected for the 22-man Team of the Tournament due to his performances throughout the European Championship.
