I Might Have To Give Up On My Dream To Become A Football Manager – Terry

Chelsea legend John Terry has come out to say that he might have to give up on his dreams to become a football manager. He recently suggested that English managers are currently receiving fewer opportunities to progress in their coaching careers, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, while his passion to become a manager is still burning, the longer he has to wait for the dream to come true, the closer he’ll get to giving it up.

Terry added that he captained Chelsea and England while leading both teams to major successes; therefore, he deserves the chance to be trusted with the right managerial opportunity.

His words, “My passion has not diminished at all. Of course I want to be a manager. It’s time consuming, I’m watching games, re-watching games and I’m doing courses, I’m spending so much time waiting for this opportunity.

The longer it goes on, the more likely I will just have to draw a line and say: ‘you know what? I’m going to focus on other things.’ I’ve captained Chelsea, I’ve captained my country and led those teams to many successes. I don’t know why I’ve not had an opportunity, I really don’t.

I don’t think English managers get the same opportunities. I think we get blown away by foreign managers that have dominated leagues which are not at the top level and yet still get the opportunities in the UK and the Premier League.

I’ve interviewed for clubs in the lower league and the feedback has come back and they say I have no experience for a start and my three years at Villa kind of means nothing. I absolutely loved my time at Villa. I feel I am ready. I know I am ready. I’ve done all my badges and I’m watching so much football.

I have a good balance of life, I’m in a happy place. I’m doing some work away, I’m spending a bit of time with the family and part time at Chelsea working with the kids so I’ve got a really nice balance in life.”

WOW.
