John Terry, the captain of Chelsea, has expressed his aspiration to take on the role of manager for the club, while also hoping that the newly appointed manager, Andre Villas-Boas, will remain in the position for a “long time.”
At 30 years old, Terry noted that Villas-Boas’s appointment signifies Chelsea’s willingness to choose a younger manager, emphasizing that when Villas-Boas’s contract expires, he will be the same age as Terry.
“Becoming manager is certainly my overall aim,” Terry stated.
“This is fantastic for the current squad too, particularly with the inclusion of Roberto Di Matteo and the opportunities being provided to players who are intimately familiar with the club.”
“This offers hope to long-time members like myself, suggesting that if we pursue our coaching qualifications, there could be future opportunities available. The club supports this initiative.”
While speaking during Chelsea’s pre-season tour in Asia, Terry emphasized his unwavering confidence in Villas-Boas, who succeeded Carlo Ancelotti after his dismissal.
“We often discuss the comings and goings of managers, but I firmly believe he will be a fixture for many years,” Terry remarked.
“It was thought that we had stability in Carlo Ancelotti’s first year, but this illustrates the evolving perspectives and plans of the club. We as a player group must perform, while the manager prepares us for that.”
“He understands players, possesses positional awareness, and pays meticulous attention to the details in pre-game and training sessions. His coaching style is quite similar to Jose Mourinho’s, consistently carrying lessons from one practice to the next, which is beneficial. He has his own distinct approach.”
“I am confident that he will contribute significantly to the club.”
Buford Balony says: He wants the job so he can try and root the players’ wives.
