Villa skipper Terry, 37, is eyeing life as a boss when he finally hangs up his boots

Many of his former England team-mates, such as Rio Ferdinand, Jamie Carragher and Michael Owen, have chosen the comfort of the TV studio over the demands of the dugout.

He said: “Without question John is going to have a crack at it — and rightly so.

“Steven Gerrard has gone down that path too, which is great to see.

“Too many of the top, top players have gone down the media path."
