John Terry outlines ‘last’ dream to achieve at Chelsea

John Terry has said he still dreams of becoming Chelsea manager in the future.

Terry returned to his former side in 2023 as an academy coach but retains interest in working with the senior side. The former Chelsea captain perviously worked as an assistant coach at Aston Villa and Leicester City.

One of the greatest players in the club’s history after captaining Chelsea to five Premier League titles among his honours, Terry has revealed there is one last dream he wants to achieve in West London.

Though admitting he does not view the prospect as likely, the 44-year-old said he has ambitions of becoming Chelsea manager.

“It’s my one last dream I have at the football club. I’ve done everything at Chelsea ,” Terry said in a TikTok video.

“And for me now, the one thing that is missing is being the manager of the football club. That’s why I went into coaching when I finished playing. My idea and dream was to learn my trade a bit.

“As a player, you retire after 22 years… Listen, 100 per cent, you learn enough to go into management. The level I played at and the managers I played under. But it doesn’t give you the right you go into management at a certain level. You still have to learn and understand what it takes.

“There’s a lot more that goes into the coaching side of it. So I went away and learnt my trade, I had some unbelievable times at Villa, I left Villa to be a number one, I thought I was ready.”
