Totti: Gasperini and Ranieri must respect Roma fans

Roma legend Francesco Totti has called on Claudio Ranieri and Gian Piero Gasperini to sort out their differences.

Coach Gasperini and technical director Ranieri have fallen out in recent weeks, with the tension reaching the point where both men were sent home to cool off.

Totti, speaking at an eBay function, said: "I don't want to get into this, so to speak, dynamic, but as a Roma fan the main objective is to stay united, even if there are internal disagreements."

"Ultimately, both Gasperini and Ranieri must respect the Roma fans and the club. Especially because we're still there, three points behind Juventus. I hope they join forces, then we'll take stock in June. The only objective right now is Roma, and all of us Roma fans hope that we can all move in the same direction.

"Problems are everywhere, but exposing them like this right now doesn't seem right to me."
