Aston Villa captain Terry: Mourinho long inspired me about coaching

Aston Villa captain John Terry admits Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has inspired him to target a coaching career.

Mourinho managed Terry for five years across his two separate spells as Chelsea boss with the pair winning three Premier League titles together.

"I was quite young when Jose Mourinho first came into Chelsea. Only 23," Terry told The Coaches' Voice. "But, after a few training sessions, I went and got a notepad and started jotting stuff down.

"Things he said in team meetings, things he said before a game, or to the press. Sometimes I'd come in after a training session and write down everything we'd just done."

Terry added: "From the moment Jose came in, I knew I wanted to be a coach."
