Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has tipped John Terry to become a manager when he finishes playing.
Conte could be presiding over the 36-year-old captain's final months as a player, with Terry's current contract expiring this summer after 18 years and more than 700 appearances.
The Italian had to quickly correct himself when he suggested Terry could become manager of Chelsea, as that is his job. It was a slip of the tongue in a foreign language.
But he was sincere in his belief that the former England skipper, suspended for Saturday's trip to Leicester, has a future in management if that is his wish.
