Chelsea assistant boss Ray Wilkins has revealed he's in John Terry's ear about taking his coaching badges.

"I did speak to John about that a couple of months ago because the coaching badges situation creeps in now, and I think he would love to stay in the game," said Wilkins.

"He will start taking his badges pretty shortly and if he does decide that's what he wants to do, he will be pretty successful at it.

"He has a very strong character and knows the game. He has worked under some wonderful coaches and managers and he will take snippets from everybody if he decides to go down that route."
