da imperador bet： England manager Roy Hodgson has admitted that he is disappointed with John Terry’s decision to retire from international football.
da wazamba： The Chelsea defender has announced that he will not step-out for the Three Lions again, and has blamed his decision on the ongoing investigations of the FA over racist abuse claims from Anton Ferdinand.
The experienced centre-half has amassed 78 caps for the home nation, and Hodgson has confessed that he tried to get Terry to reconsider his decision.
“I am of course disappointed to lose a player of John’s international experience and exceptional ability,” Hodgson is quoted as saying in The Telegraph.
“I have enjoyed a good relationship with John during my time as England manager and I reluctantly accept his decision. I can also confirm that he had the courtesy to call me prior to announcing his retirement from the England team.”
Terry is currently under investigation from the FA.
