John Terry, a former player for Chelsea, has addressed rumors that he is planning to leave for Saudi Arabia.
John Terry, who has returned to Stamford Bridge as a coach within the Blues’ academy after working with Dean Smith at both Aston Villa and Leicester, has denied rumors that he is set to take up a new coaching position in Saudi Arabia while discussing his former team and their current situation under Mauricio Pochettino.
Terry has since denied the rumors after appearing at a sports memorabilia event. There had been reports that he had verbally agreed to coach stars like Yannick Carrasco, Romain Saidd, Ever Banega, and Habib Diallo for Saudi Pro League team Al-Shabab.
In addition, the 42-year-old made a rather close-to-home suggestion about his upcoming move. When questioned about Saudi rumors, Terry responded, “There’s been talks but the press are miles off.” This was reported by journalist Simon Phillips. “I’m not going to manage that place. I’ll be situated in the UK and it’s for a different role. Very early in the morning.
Al-Shabab, according to The Sun, must decide on their boardroom layout before choosing Terry since elections will soon be held to choose a new board of directors. After meeting with him in France, at least one of the candidates wants to hire the former center back because the former Blues captain might come as a coach or sporting director.
