The 69-year-old rates the veteran center back as capable of contributing to the club in the years ahead, but maintains it is not down to him whether a new contract is awarded.
Guus Hiddink has no doubt that John Terry is capable of continuing his career at Chelsea next season, but will have no influence over the captain's future.
Terry's contract expires at the end of the season and he has yet to sign a new one, meaning he may have played his final game for Chelsea after his red card in Saturday's 3-2 defeat at Sunderland.
