 Terry says he wants to go into coaching after hanging up his boots |
Chelsea captain John Terry says he has spoken to the club about becoming their manager when he retires. The 26-year-old defender told BBC One's new Inside Sport programme: "I'd certainly like to manage one day.
"When I was speaking about my contract with Chelsea, I was talking about a nine-year contract and maybe with an option to manage at the end of it.
"It's certainly the way I want to go. I want to get my [coaching] badges and make that decision at the end of it."
In an exclusive interview with Inside Sport presenter Gabby Logan, Terry also revealed he was still angry about the fall-out from Chelsea's game against Tottenham in November.

The centre-half was shown his second yellow card after a clash in the Spurs penalty area, prompting accusations he had made racist remarks towards Tottenham defender Ledley King. Terry said: "It was my first sending off of my career. I'm not that type of player. I used to play Sunday football with Ledley King.
"It's disheartening. At the time of the incident I got loads of text messages on my phone after a lot of people thought I was racist to Ledley King and a few other Tottenham players and it certainly wasn't the case.
"I'd never be that way. People who know me as a person know I'm not like that."

Terry claimed after the game that referee Graham Poll gave him conflicting reasons for sending him off with a second yellow card and was charged with improper conduct.
He initially requested a personal hearing with the FA but later accepted the charge.
"Sometimes it's easier to do that [accept the charge] rather than go to the FA and [get your] picture in the newspaper," he said.
"Sometimes you admit things you don't feel inside."
