John Terry is 'set for sporting director role in Saudi Arabia' as the Chelsea legend prepares to leave Europe and join Pro League strugglers Al-Shabab

John Terry is set to become the latest Englishman to seek out footballing opportunities in Saudi Arabia as he prepares to become a sporting director in the nation, according to reports.

The former Chelsea and England captain will take up his new position as the head of Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab on a short-term basis as he pursues a first role outside Europe.

Terry rejected the chance to become the struggling Saudi side's next manager in favour of a senior position where he will help offer advice and oversee different areas of operations, as reported by Sports Zone.
