John Terry set for coaching return amid Chelsea rumours after Frank Lampard appointment

Chelsea favourite John Terry could be set to make a return to coaching in the Premier League. The former defender is currently part of the Blues' Under-18s coaching set-up after leaving Aston Villa in 2021.

Terry has been a name mentioned by supporters in recent weeks to make the jump to the first-team at Stamford Bridge following Graham Potter's exit. Frank Lampard was reinstated as interim head coach last week with Terry continuing his role at academy level and sending his old teammate a message of good luck.

Now, the 42-year-old is now set to make a return to the Premier League with Dean Smith. According to the Telegraph's John Percy, Smith is "close" to taking over at Leicester City for the remainder of the season with Terry and Craig Shakespeare expected to join him in the Midlands.
