Chelsea captain John Terry admits his return to form is due to manager Jose Mourinho.

He credits Mourinho with reviving a career which was drifting last season.

"A lot of people in football ruled me out a bit last year, thinking I wouldn't be here for too much longer," said Terry. "That spurs you on to do well and battle for the club you love. Whether that's a year, two years, three years, I feel I have something to give next year. Beyond that, we don't know. I hope so.

"The manager has played a massive part for me. We spoke in the summer once his deal was done. He's very honest. He lets you know straight. If you're not good enough, you won't play. If you're playing well, you keep your place."
