Chelsea hero Michael Ballack has offered advice to John Terry over his next career move.

Chelsea are not expected to hand Terry a contract extension at the end of the season, but instead will offer him a coaching or ambassadorial role.

"He is a player with that history and charisma," Ballack told Sky Sports.

"He's such a Chelsea boy and they love him there. I know what it means if your career comes to an end and you're getting older. You don't know whether you extend your contract, play for another club or go abroad to America.

"I'm sure he has some options but if you think long-term, you have to feel comfortable with the decision.

"If you don't feel comfortable with what you want to do then don't do it. That's what I can advise. It's not always easy to make a decision because you must be 100per cent convinced.

"He can't really make a lot of mistakes with that career so he should be happy and calm."
