Chelsea legend Terry snaps back at fan over coaching claim

Chelsea legend John Terry has clashed with a supporter online regarding a possible role under Frank Lampard.

With Terry's ex-teammate taking over as caretaker at Chelsea for the rest of this season, some were expecting Terry to get a call to help on the coaching staff.

However, the legendary defender rejected those claims, stating that Lampard already had his team in place.

A fan ranted online: “Delighted that Lamps is back and excited by the back room appointments. But please don't add JT (John Terry) to that list.

“Club legend but too much golf and not enough coaching experience to warrant inclusion. We're past the days of barrack-room bombast."

Terry responded on Twitter: “Lazy comment. I have all my coaching badges to coach at the TOP LEVEL in the game.

“Spent three years at Villa and WON PROMOTION to the Premier League, improved players and individuals year after year."
