Chelsea assistant coach confident Terry will stay

John Terry will hopefully complete terms on a new Chelsea contract in the near future, according to assistant coach Steve Holland. Former England centre-back Terry has reportedly been offered a new contract by the west London club but on half his current salary.

"John has had an outstanding season; we have the best defensive record in the Premier League and he's played in almost all of that and been a major part of it all," said Holland.

"I know that John wants to stay at Chelsea, and Chelsea want John to stay, so hopefully that situation can be concluded amicably over the next few weeks.

"It's the same situation [with Lampard and Cole], we're dealing with not just normal players, but magnificent servants for this club over a long period.

"So full respect will be given for those players."
