Roma's Francesco Totti plays down talk of playing last Rome derby

.Roma legend Francesco Totti has indicated that Sunday's Eternal City derby was not his last one as a player.

Totti, 40, came on for Daniele De Rossi midway through the second half of his side's 3-1 defeat to Lazio and, with his contract due to expire in the summer, is not expected to appear in another derby.

Roma general manager Mauro Baldissoni, speaking before kick-off, said: "Francesco has a six-year contract [as a director] so he is going to be involved in many more derbies, even if he will be off the field for those.

"His contract as a footballer expires in June. At the moment, we don't envisage seeing him on the field again, but he will be with us for many more derbies."

But Totti told reporters: "Somebody else may be saying that, but not me."

As he warmed up during the game, he was heard joking with photographers who were surrounding him, saying: "Relax -- it's not my last derby."

Totti's appearance on Sunday was his 44th in an Eternal City derby, but he was unable to add to his record 11 goals in the fixture.
