Chelsea legend John Terry has revealed he would be interested in being involved in some capacity in the Chelsea first-team.

“The only job I’d come out of my kind of retirement for would be the Chelsea job,” Terry told Stephen Hendry’s Cue Tips.

“To be involved in some capacity with a first-team role… I love my role at the minute, working with the younger players [at Chelsea].

“I’ve been through that process as a kid myself [and] I’m passing on my knowledge to them, having loads of conversations with them.

“I always see myself as a coach in the long-term but there were better coaches than me at Villa, Craig Shakespeare and Richard O’Kelly.

“I went for a couple of managers’ jobs when I left and didn’t get them, got a bit deflated so I came away and I’ve spent a bit more family time.”
