John Terry has returned to Chelsea football club just four years after his Stamford Bridge exit, Newspremises reports.

Terry, 41, has embarked on his own coaching journey since leaving west London in 2017, working under former Aston Villa boss Dean Smith for three years in the West Midlands as an assistant coach .

On Wednesday morning, December 29, Chelsea FC announced that the club legend and former England captain has returned to the club and will take up a part-time consultancy role at the club's Cobham training base.

The club said: 'The Blues legend will work with our young players and coaching staff in our youth development programme, sharing the vast experience gained from his 20-year playing career and recent spell as assistant coach at Aston Villa.

'As well as delivering on-field coaching, our former club captain will contribute to coaching discussions with colleagues, mentor Academy players and support parent dialogue. He will begin the role in a part-time capacity at the start of next month.

'This flexibility is beneficial for both John and the Academy, as it allows him to continue to develop his own coaching skills alongside other commitments, while being used optimally within our development programme.'

The way John Terry put his life on the line for Chelsea defense was amazing, he was like a road block, blocking humans and shots

Just seeing this analogy. I know quite a number of good sales people that are doing great as managers.

Care to shed light on your comment?

Hope he doesn't fvck all the 'soccer moms' bringing their kids for practice. Johnny is known for thinking with his pr1ck only.

.two things are obvious.
1. Your metrics for what a good sales manager is needs some serious work.

2. The very mental dexterity and habits that cojoin to make one a great sales person are the very things that make one a bad manager.

Honourable mention: don't confuse charisma or persuasiveness as traits to assume a manager was a good sales person previously .

Dem go soon sack Tuchel.... All his welcome party winnings are over, na now work start if I lie ask Lampard.

Captain JT

of course they do.

Zidane?
Guardiola?
Deschamps?

In fact, the opposite is the case. It is rare to find successful coaches who did not make it big as players. It is just that when a high profile ex player, usually a recent retiree, fails, it is morenewsworthy.
