The former striker, Gianfranco Zola, who is now the Vice President of Lega Pro, imparted this during an interview on the sidelines of the event, ‘Premio Internazionale Eccellenza Mediterraneo,’ held in Rome. Among the various questions posed, he commented on recent statements made by Francesco Totti about a possible return to the pitch, following offers he received from several Serie A clubs.
