Terry: My ultimate dream is to coach Chelsea s first team, but I m not sure it will happen

Chelsea star Terry said that he dreams of coaching Chelsea, but he is not sure whether it can be realized.

Terry played for Chelsea for 22 years, played 717 times, and won 15 important trophies with the team, including 1 Champions League championship and 5 Premier League championships. Terry began his coaching career after retiring. He served as Villa assistant from 2018 to 2021, then returned to Chelsea as a consultant, and then joined the Leicester City coaching staff. In July 2023, Terry returned to Chelsea again and served as youth training coach.

Terry said that his biggest goal is to coach the Chelsea first team. "To be honest, I am not sure whether this can be realized. This is my last dream in the club. I have done everything at Chelsea. The only thing missing now is to serve as the team coach. So I chose the coaching path after retirement. My idea is to learn some coaching experience first."

Terry continued: "As a former professional player, you retire after 22 years of playing... Obviously, 100%, you learn enough knowledge to be able to enter the coaching world, especially considering the high level of competition and coaching that I experienced. But these do not mean that you can immediately coach a team at a certain level, you still need to learn to understand it. key points. "

Terry later said: "Coaching work has many details, so I went to Villa to study and had a very good time. I left Villa thinking I was ready. I believe I can be a great coach and I love coaching. "

Finally, Terry said: "I hope the people around me are better coaches than me, so that I can lead the locker room and the team like I did when I was a player. This is what I've been doing for 22 years, and I know I can do it better. But will I get the (coaching) opportunity? I'm not sure if I didn't complete the other necessary steps. But it's really hard to understand when people say you don't have enough experience. "
