Francesco Totti arrives in Istanbul — linked to advisory role at Fenerbahçe
Totti met club representatives in Istanbul and is expected to discuss sporting plans, but Fenerbahçe have not confirmed any appointment.
Legendary Italian footballer Francesco Totti has arrived in Istanbul and his name is being linked to a planned reorganisation at Fenerbahçe, where he could take an important advisory role in the club's sporting department.
Turkish media report that Totti was received by club representatives and is expected to hold talks with the management about future plans and the composition of the squad. There is so far no official confirmation of any appointment.
Possible influence on player decisions
The speculation around Totti's visit also mentions Serbian right-back Ognjen Mimović, whose future at Fenerbahçe is uncertain. Mimović arrived at the club from Red Star Belgrade in February 2025 but has yet to establish himself in the first team.
According to previous media reports, Fenerbahçe could decide to part ways with Mimović during the winter transfer window. That is why some outlets suggest Totti might be involved in decisions related to the playing staff, including Mimović's status.
Club sources have not confirmed that the Italian would have final say over player futures, and Fenerbahçe have made no official announcement about Totti's role as of November 9, 2026.
