Thornton regrets not playing for Mourinho at Roma

Former Inter Milan defender David Thornton said his body could no longer take it and could not meet the demands of a professional athlete because of a knee injury. After his contract with Roma expired this summer, he chose to retire at the age of 31.


Thornton 's first Serie A game was promoted to the first team when Mourinho coached Inter Milan that year. Then, Thornton ended his playing career when Mourinho coached Roma.


In a recent interview, Thornton mentioned his relationship with Roma boss Jose Mourinho . Thornton said it was Mourinho who brought him to the team and was his coach at the end of his career. Thornton regrets not being able to play for Mourinho in Roma . This is due to the fact that in the final year of the contract, Thornton is no longer in the Roma first-team squad, but Thornton understands that this is not Mourinho's decision.


"I regret not joining Jose Mourinho's Roma team, but I know these are decisions made by the club. Mourinho is number one. The players love him and he lets himself be loved. He has won a lot after winning a lot. Still hungry and passionate about his job. He can win again. I think Mourinho's dream is to win the league with Roma."
