John Terry has said his managerial career is over before it began after being left confused by his failure to get a job.
Terry, 44, enjoyed a hugely impressive playing career for Chelsea and England, winning 17 trophies with the Blues, before he concluded his time in the game at Aston Villa.
After retiring, he joined the set up at Villa Park as Dean Smith's No 2 and together the club got promoted to the Premier League and established themselves in the top flight.
Terry departed in the summer of 2021 and it was widely expected he would move into management, with the former defender linked to roles at several clubs, including Newcastle.
