John Terry credits Jose Mourinho for inspiring him to quit drinking during career's end

John Terry, the former Chelsea and England defender, revealed that Jose Mourinho inspired him to stop drinking during the final years of his career. This decision came after a period of limited play under manager Rafael Benitez. Terry shared that a phone call from Mourinho motivated him to focus on his fitness. He recalled being at dinner with his family when he decided to stop drinking wine to prove himself to Mourinho, who promised him a key role upon his return. Under Mourinho, Terry regained his position and played every minute of the 2014/15 season, helping Chelsea win the Premier League. This marked a significant turnaround in his career after struggling for playing time previously.
