Chelsea legend, John Terry, has admitted that it will be a dream come true to become the first-team manager of his former Premier League club, but added that he doubts if it will ever happen.
He made this known recently while featuring on a programme on talkSPORT.
Although the former England international has returned to Stamford Bridge, he is currently in charge of the academy.
Before taking the role at Chelsea, he worked as assistant manager to Dean Smith at Aston Villa.
Speaking during the interview, Terry said he still dreams of managing the London club, but feels that may never come to fruition.

He said, “I love coaching and after three years, I was ready to be a manager, so I came away and reset with the family,” he said.
“Then I had a couple of interviews and it was quite disappointing. In every interview I came away from they said ‘you have no experience as a number one’.
“I still have a dream, I’d love to go in at Chelsea one day.
“Does that happen without me doing the other levels? No, it probably doesn’t. So, realistically, it’s not going to happen for me.
“I’m comfortable with that, I’m happy, I’ve done all my badges, I’m ready. So if anything does ever come up and it’s the right opportunity, I’ll go in.”
