John Terry is linked with becoming a coach at Aston Villa.
Aston Villa are being linked with a move to hire John Terry as a coach.
Terry is reportedly being lined up along with Thierry Henry as part of a rookie manager ‘dream team’, Goal report.
A move into coaching is no move on a whim being made by Terry.
The former England captain has been planning his next chapter for years.
Bournemouth ace Nathan Ake played alongside Terry at Chelsea and told last year about his belief in his former teammate.
Quoted by the Mirror: Ake said: “JT will make a really good coach. He was already writing down what we had done in training sessions and everything just to be a manager, so he was always looking.
“It’s just the way he interacts with people, the way he likes to help young players.
“He always came over and was talking to us, saying: ‘Don’t be nervous, just play your own game.”
Terry appears ready to make the next step after finally calling it time on his playing career over the weekend, announcing his retirement.
Aston Villa’s vacant job is a logical next step if the club are brave enough to bring him on board, after he played what proved to be his final season for the club last season.
