John Terry has aired his frustrations at Chelsea, feeling that he must have been involved in leading the primary team after Enzo Maresca departed as manager.
Club legend Terry is involved with coaching the academy sides in west London, working with the age range squads on a part-time basis.
The previous defender is a mammoth figure at Stamford Bridge, having made 717 appearances for the Blues in all competitions.
He won five Premier League titles, the Champions League and five FA Cups during an epic stint at the center of Chelsea’s defence.
Terry has made no secret of the very fact he would really like to administer the Blues, but is just not expecting to be ever offered the chance.
After Maresca left the club on Latest 12 months’s Day, it was Under-21 manager Calum McFarlane who stepped up to guide the team for 2 games, with Terry not involved.
The 45-year-old was frustrated with the situation and felt it became clear that he wouldn’t ever get the Chelsea gig without constructing a management profession elsewhere.

‘So even when I didn’t take the take the team, obviously Calum took the team, done very well got a result out the sport. I feel like I must have been a part of that.
‘Now listen, people have gotten to make decisions. I adore it when people make decisions they usually go “yes” or “no” and clearly ownership or whoever made those decisions and sporting directors have gone, no not to incorporate me, for whatever reason why I don’t know.
