Spalletti plans to read Totti's book before responding to 'coward' claim

The former Roma coach was asked for his opinion on the Italian's book ahead of Inter's clash with Cagliari

Luciano Spalletti plans to read Francesco Totti's autobiography before responding to a section that describes an angry confrontation between the two during their time at Roma.

Totti's relationship with Spalletti became strained towards the end of his penultimate season as a player following a disagreement in the wake of a draw against Atalanta in April 2016.

In his newly published book, the Roma icon recounts a bust-up in the aftermath during which he claims to have called Spalletti a coward for trying to push him out of the club and was consequently banished from the training ground.
