Roma striker Francesco Totti has insisted that he will not turn his back on international retirement. After the World Cup final in 2006 Totti had retired, but many sections of the media had called for his recall.

  • "I made my decision to retire from international football straight after the World Cup Final in Berlin,” Totti told the Gazzetta dello Sport on Tuesday.



    The 31-year old skipper has announced his international retirement after last year’s World Cup triumph.



    "The (Italian) Federation asked me to take some time and I did, but at the start of last season I told them that I wanted to quit and I have never reconsidered since, whether we qualified for Euro 2008 or not. “



    The Azzurri’s coach Roberto Donadoni has opened the door for Totti to comeback several times but the latter was firm on his decision.
