John Terry 'Verbally Agrees' Surprise Return to Stamford Bridge as Under-23s Manager

Former Chelsea captain John Terry is set to take over as the club's new Under-23's manager, and has declared his intention to one day manage the first team - all of which according to the Sun.

The Blues' Under-23 side is currently managerless after Jody Morris left to work under Frank Lampard at Derby County, and Terry has reportedly verbally agreed to take over, pending the completion of his coaching badges.

Terry most recently played for Aston Villa in the Championship, having taken them to the playoff final before losing out on promotion to Fulham, and reportedly decided against a move to Spartak Moscow in the summer after his Villa contract expired.
