Ex-captain John Terry returns to Chelsea as an official

Former captain John Terry is returning to his ex-club, Chelsea, as an official. Starting next year, the 41-year-old will advise the academy coaches of the six-time English soccer champions.

Terry has won 17 titles during his playing career with the Champions League winner, who is coached by German team manager Thomas Tuchel.

Terry retired from the Blues in 2018. After that, the former captain of the English national team was under contract as an assistant coach at the Premier League club Aston Villa until July.

“I’m happy to come home,” said the former head of defense: “I will not only hold the coaches’ sessions, but will also be involved in looking after our academy players.”
