What lessons can John Terry the manager learn from the golden generation? Lampard was brutally axed by Chelsea and Gary Neville suffered at Valencia... but Gerrard points the way with canny Rangers job

John Terry is going to be a name to keep an eye on in the early part of the season, especially when poor form puts a few managers under pressure.

The legendary former Chelsea and England captain has quit Aston Villa in his role as an assistant to Dean Smith as he looks to carve out a managerial career of his own.

Right now the 40-year-old is only linked with the vacant Swansea City job following the resignation of Steve Cooper from the Championship side.

Terry though is not desperate to jump into a job and is ready to tour Europe to get a better feel and experience for the range of coaching styles he could bring to a future club.
