Francesco Totti hit out at the Roma hierarchy after ending a 30-year association with the club on Monday.
Speaking at a press conference Totti said: “I never had the chance to express myself. I was never involved in a genuine technical project.
“In the first year, that can happen. In the second, I realised what I wanted to do and we never got together, never helped each other.”
Totti, a World Cup winner with Italy in 2006, spent his entire playing career with Roma.
He made his debut in 1989 and went to appear 786 times for the club, scoring 307 goals in all competitions.
