ROME (Reuters) - AS Roma's talismanic playmaker Francesco Totti confirmed that Sunday's Serie A match at home to Genoa will be his last after 25 years at the club, but left his future shrouded in mystery by saying he was ready for a "new challenge".

The 40-year-old gave no clues as to whether the new challenge would be a director's role at Roma or playing at a different club, something which has always been considered unthinkable for one of soccer's most loyal players.
