'YOU CAN NEVER DREAM TOO BIG' Chelsea legend John Terry vows to return to his beloved Blues as manager one day
JOHN TERRY was unveiled as an Aston Villa player — then vowed to return to his beloved Chelsea as manager.
The Blues legend snubbed bigger offers from clubs in the Premier
League, America and China to join Steve Bruce’s Championship outfit.“Do you dream too big? I don’t think you can ever dream too big.
“I’ve always wanted to be the very best and if that’s in management, then Chelsea’s the one. That would be incredible but I realise as well you can’t go in somewhere like Chelsea as your first job.”
Terry confessed to sleepless nights agonising about life after the Blues, having lifted 15 trophies with the club over a glittering 22-year career.
He added: “I knew this day was going to come but even now words are hard to find to describe it.
“I feel like I’m turning up to school for the first time. This is a new chapter now and it excites me.
Terry has signed a one-year deal worth around £5million, with an option of a further season open to both parties.
He praised Bruce for persuading him to take the plunge at Villa, where fans once jeered him and chanted ‘let him DIE!’ as he was taken off on a stretcher in 2013.
“I’m passionate and I’ve run out here many times and given as good as I’ve been given and wound people up.
“People see you in a certain way and think, ‘right, he’s an a******e’ and bracket you there. But that’s not me, you grow up and live and learn.”
