Chelsea legend John Terry is set to become head coach of Saudi side Al-Shabab FC, according to the Sun.

The Chelsea legend has been in talks with the Pro-League club and a stunning deal has already been verbally agreed.

The report adds: “Terry, 42, was approached by bosses at Al-Shabab around a month ago and has been offered a contract of at least two years and up to four if it is rubber stamped as expected.

“He is currently working on a one year deal as a consultant in the Chelsea academy.

“Chelsea have already said they will not stand in his way as a mark of respect to his service to them over almost two decades – even though it will be a big blow to their youth team losing such a figurehead from their camp.”
