In an interview with The Sun, Chelsea legend Terry said that his coaching career is over.
Terry, 44, has served as an assistant coach in Villa and Leicester City. He is currently a Chelsea Youth Training Academy. He said: "My coaching career is over. I enjoy my life very much. Now I work at Chelsea Youth Training Academy. My job is part-time. I like to be with my children and I like to pass on my experience and knowledge to them. Actually, I am not coaching, but a mentor and ambassador."
"I changed a few jobs, and those days are over. I now enjoy my life, have my own time, can play golf, work in the Youth Training Academy, and have some time to accompany my family. I balance it all well."
However, Terry is also doing it to himself. I was frustrated when I didn't get the opportunity to coach, and he said: "I absolutely yearn for coaching. I had a lot of experience around Dean Smith when I was at Villa. We successfully upgraded. It was awesome. As an assistant coach in the Premier League, and my experience playing at Chelsea and England, I thought it was enough to get me a job. I didn't say job opportunities in the Premier League or the Championship, but I didn't even get the chance. I had a few interviews and the reply was just, 'You don't have experience'.
Seeing the way some people coached these days, it really confused me. As for whether I was frustrated, yes, absolutely, because I also have a lot of excellent qualities and can be a good coach, unfortunately, this didn't happen."
