John Terry is confident of being appointed Chelsea manager once his playing career comes to an end, hoping the club will give him the chance to succeed present incumbent Andre Villas-Boas.
The central defender, who has three years remaining on his current contract, is delighted with the recent appointment of Villas-Boas, who previously spent time as a member of Jose Mourinho's backroom staff at Stamford Bridge before making a name for himself as a manager in his own right at Porto.
Terry believes the arrival of the 33-year-old demonstrates that the club are willing to give young managers a chance - especially if they have a prior history at the club - and as a result the captain is hopeful that he will be given the chance to manage the Blues when he hangs up his boots.
