Chelsea skipper John Terry insists the players are happy with the appointment of Rafa Benitez.

There have been suggestions some of the Blues' senior players might be sceptical about former Liverpool boss Benitez being handed the reins following his run-ins with his new club while at Anfield.

But Terry wrote in his programme notes for Sunday's Premier League game against Manchester City: "On Thursday, we welcomed Rafa Benitez as our first-team manager. All the players are looking forward to working with him."
