""I've done everything at Chelsea and for me now, the one thing that is missing is being manager of the football club hence why I went into coaching after I finished, because my dream was to go out and learn my trade a little bit.""
""You retire after 22 years playing and listen, 100% you learn enough to go into management, playing the level I played at and the managers that I played under. It doesn't give you the right to just go into management at a certain level, you have to learn and understand what it takes.""
"The former Chelsea captain, who represented his boyhood club for 22 years, rose through the ranks to be their most successful captain -- guiding the club to Champions League and Premier League glory. Only Ron Harris represented Chelsea more times than Terry's 717, while the 44-year-old played under the likes of José Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Conte."
John Terry captained Chelsea for 22 years, making 717 appearances and leading the club to Champions League and Premier League titles. He played under managers José Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Antonio Conte and developed notable leadership skills. Terry left Chelsea in 2017, joined Aston Villa, and transitioned into coaching, serving as assistant manager at Villa between 2018 and 2021. Terry says managing Chelsea is his "one last dream" and pursued coaching to learn the trade and understand what management requires. He emphasizes that playing success alone does not guarantee immediate managerial appointment.
