If Spalletti’s return to the Olimpico was a movie, then it could be Ettore Scola’s We Loved Each Other So Much. From Vittorio Gasman to Nino Manfredi, the cast was exceptional, as was the story of the Napoli coach who lived in Rome through two eras: the Sensi era and the Pallotta era. And if the first is what all the fans remembered him fondly for, then the second is what created the crack, because in the collective imagination Luciano Spalletti is the man who made Francesco Totti stop playing football. For this reason, every time he returned to Rome, whether he was sitting on the bench for Inter or Napoli, there was no shortage of whistles from the stadium in his direction. After all, football has a short memory and it does not matter that before the arrival of Mourinho, Spalletti was the last coach able to bring a trophy to Rome (it was 2008), to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League twice in a row. to play for the title against Inter on the final day. For Rome and the Romans, Spalletti would be the one who returned almost ten years later to stop Totti.
