Aston Villa new born (or new man) John Terry says he plans to become a coach at Chelsea one day, alongside his former Chelsea teammate Frank Lampard. He signed a one-year deal with Villa on Monday after snubbing more lucrative offers to remain a top-flight player.
“I think that’s a goal for all of us. Me and Lamps have had those conversations.” Terry said after being asked about his plans to become a coach at Chelsea.
“Do you dream too big? I don’t think you ever can. I’ve always wanted to be the very best and if that’s in management, then Chelsea’s the one and obviously in an ideal world that would be incredible, but I do realise as well that you can’t go in at somewhere like Chelsea as your first job. You need to go and learn, whether that’s in the academy like Stevie [Gerrard] is doing [at Liverpool].
“It’s difficult to get jobs. I see a lot of players from my generation not walking into jobs that maybe I thought they would get. So I think you need to go out and do your work and put your minutes in on the pitch and make your mistakes that no one sees so that when you do go in, you’re kind of ready.”
The 36-year-old, who made over 700 appearances and won 15 major honours with the Blues.
