Christian Totti, Son of Italy Legend Francesco Totti, Retires at 19
Pressures of famous surname push young striker to early retirement from football Christian Totti, Son of Italy Legend Francesco Totti, Retires at 19 In a shocking development, Christian Totti son of AS Roma legend Francesco Totti has officially announced his retirement from football at just 19 years old. "Enough is enough" - A career cut short Italian newspaper La Nuova broke the news with the headline: "Enough! I'm quitting football" When contacted, Christian confirmed: "I can't say much. Yes I've retired. It's decision I've made". The young forward reportedly struggled for years under the weight of his father's legendary status which brought constant pressure, high expectations and intense media scrutiny. Unfulfilled journey across multiple clubs Christian began his youth career with AS Roma's U17 team but saw limited minutes , just 15 minute across two U18 appearances. He later moved to Frosinone Primavera, scoring once in 4 match before brief stint at Rayo Vallecano in Spain in early 2024. His most recent experiences included short spells with Avezzano & Olbia in Italy's 4th division. However recurring media criticism and online chatter about his fitness led him to distance himself from the game altogether. Italian journalist Paolo Ardovino dismissed criticism of the young Totti's physical condition, stating: "He's always been naturally fit like most professional players" Former coach Marco Amelia who worked with him at Frosinone, added: "He'd the potential to build great career if given more minutes in lower tier teams. But his father's name weighed heavily on him" A new path: nurturing future talent Christian won't leave football completely. He'll now work at his father's football academy, run by Francesco's brother Riccardo Tott alongside general manager Claudio Dolis focusing on scouting and developing young talents.

England: Sarina Wiegman hails Hannah Hampton's Euro 2025 'fairytale'
Sarina Wiegman has hailed Hannah Hampton's journey at Euro 2025 as a 'fairytale'. Hampton enjoyed an incredible tournament after being made England's No1 on the eve of the Euros, with Mary Earps retiring. Hampton excelled throughout the Euros and was named player of the match in the final, saving two penalties as England beat Spain. And asked about Hampton's tournament, Wiegman said: 'Every player has their one story and journey and hers has been incredible. 'Starting the tournament and losing the first game, there was so much riding on every game, we had five finals. 'She had to step up and I think she has been amazing. It's a little bit like a fairytale to stop those two penalties in the final.' England's final victory over Spain was in keeping with their run during the knockout stages as they edged another rollercoaster game. Spain took the lead midway through the first half thanks to Mariona Caldentey, but the Lionesses fought back. Alessia Russo equalised early in the second half, heading home Chloe Kelly's cross, and England battled their way to extra-time. Hampton's heroics got England over the line and Wiegman says she always had faith that the Lionesses would be European champions. 'To be honest, tonight I didn't have that,' said Wiegman, when asked if she had any doubts that England could go all the way. 'I had a couple of times in the Sweden game and the Italy game and I thought: 'We might keep going home tomorrow'. 'But we still had a couple of minutes to go, it's getting tight. But it's not a lack of belief, it's like... we're getting really close now. We had to score. 'And against Sweden, of course, when we had the penalty shootout, when we missed a couple of penalties, we were lucky that they missed theirs.'
