A new war of words has erupted between Roma ace Francesco Totti and Juventus boss Fabio Capello.
The two men have exchanged comments since Capello walked out on the Giallorossi in the summer, and a new spat has developed after the publication of Totti’s latest column today.
The No 10 took a swipe at Capello after he was asked to comment on the quality of the club’s youth system.
"Many people claim merit for the development of our youngsters but the unearthing and development of them is exclusively down to (youth team co-ordinator) Bruno Conti and the people who work with him," he wrote in the Corriere dello Sport.
The former Milan and Roma boss wasted little time in responding to the Italian international.
"Before Totti writes, he must read," stated Capello. "I’ve never said that Conti didn’t do a good job.
"But it must be noted that a lot of the younger players regularly trained with the first team squad in the capital.
"Perhaps Totti is unaware of this fact as when others were working on the pitch, he was already back in the changing rooms."
Totti had previously hit out at Capello earlier this season for the way he ‘controlled’ Antonio Cassano during his time at the Olimpico.
