John Terry says he's "done" with the management dream but is open to taking over as the new Chelsea manager to succeed Graham Potter.

He has, though, advised against having him appointed by his beloved Blues. Terry said to Stephen Hendry, a snooker legend: "From a managerial perspective, I'm finished.

"The only position for which I would leave retirement is one at Chelsea, where I could contribute in some way to the first team."

Terry is still working for the Blues as a coaching consultant on a part-time basis.

And on it, he said: "I currently adore my job. I have some work that involves helping with the younger players.

"Furthermore, I believe that because I experienced that process as a child myself, I am imparting a wealth of knowledge to them. As a result, I am engaging in dialogues with them, which I adore.

"But I also enjoy playing golf. I want to spend some time with my family and play a little golf."

He continued by saying that his existing family obligations would prevent him from accepting a manager position full time.

Terry stated: "I haven't really mentioned it, but I left [Aston] Villa for family reasons.

"I had to kind of come back home and be with my family and stuff, just to kind of support them."

In a very frank admission, the ex-Chelsea skipper even said that other coaches at Aston Villa were better at it than him.

He stated: "I always see myself as a coach in the long term.

"I enjoyed the coaching side of it but I have to say there were better coaches than me.

"We had Craig Shakespeare and Richard O'Kelly at Villa, they were better coaches than me.

"I always saw myself as a manager, but I went for a couple of jobs when I left [Villa], didn't get those jobs and got a bit deflated with it.

"So I've just decided against it."
